Vulnerable children in the UK need your help 

Wherever you work in the Action for Children family, you'll be helping to change the lives of the most vulnerable children in the UK. 

Last year, we helped more than 670,000 children and families across the UK. From direct work in communities to national campaigning, we are focused on making sure every child has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. 

Why Action for Children? 

Working here is more than a job. Everyone in the Action for Children family is passionate about protecting and supporting children. It's the sense of purpose that drives us every single day. Because we know that, when we work together, we can make a huge difference to bring lasting improvements to vulnerable children's lives. 

A bit about the role

Our MTP project works in partnership with the local authority to provide play scheme sessions to children and young people with disabilities, from the ages of 5-18 years old.

The play scheme sessions run during each week of the school holidays on a rota between Monday – Thursday, currently across Caldicot, Chepstow, Abergavenny and Monmouth with hours of sessions falling between 9am and 4.30pm. The model is currently running with a morning and afternoon session on each day.

All the children will have been assessed by a Social Worker from the children with disabilities team and we can only accept referrals from this team.

Sessions are in a group setting at specific venues within the local Monmouthshire community. Some children may have an identified 1-1 but remain in the group setting.

This allows the young people opportunities to enjoy activities of their choice whilst being supported to develop their social, communication and practical life skills.
