Level 2 Play Leader

You will be an energetic, passionate individual who loves children, loves playing and creating games and activities to give them an enjoyable experience.   

You will have previous experience of a similar childcare setting or have other experience working with children which would be transferrable.  

You will help in the delivery of exceptional play activities to ensure our programme maintains high standards of play through a fun, safe and positive programme of activities.   

You will have brilliant communication skills and you will have an excellent rapport with parents and carers, children, colleagues, and school staff alike.   

You’ll champion our Core Values of Caring, Respect, Responsibility and Honesty throughout the play you deliver, and ensure the wellbeing and happiness of children is always put first.   

The technical bit - we need someone ideally who holds a Level 2 qualification in early years, play work or childcare provision, with a paediatric first aid qualification, although we could support you gain these qualifications if required.   

Depending on what you want, we are also able to offer further career and job progression as we are rapidly expending so we are happy to support your career development or support you in the role you are currently in.   

Please note, you must be over 18 to apply for this role. This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check (paid for by YMCA) and registration with the DBS Update Service. We reserve the right to withdraw this role before the closing date should we be able to appoint to the role.
