Job information

Post No. LEILS70072.34 - Seasonal Playscheme Playworkers


Are you enthusiastic, organised and interested in working with children and young people?


We are currently seeking to appoint a number of seasonal Playworkers to join our Play Development Team, to help us deliver a wide range of sessional playschemes across Newport. Ideally, we are looking for individuals who have experience of working in Playschemes.


We recognise the significance and the value of play in children's development and their innate desire to seek out opportunities as part of their play and learning. As a playworker you will work as part of a team to provide opportunities for all children to explore both themselves and the communities they live in. This involves both indoor and outdoor activities, so you should be willing to work with the natural elements, get messy and generally ensure that the children have fun. In addition to this you will be responsible for contributing to the general day to day organising of sessions, to the required standard.


Playschemes operate on an open access basis which allows children to choose when, and for how long they stay in the play setting. As the playworker you will ensure the team are involved in the planning and delivery of a programme to give children the incentive to play and be able to recognise when activities and the play environment needs to change. The post may require you to travel between two sites during the day.


The Playschemes operate in various areas of Newport throughout the holiday. You will need to be fully available, along with a training day prior to the playscheme, which may be on a weekend.


This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (1974) and is subject to a successful Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Council posts and associated pay are subject to the outcome of an on-going Pay & Grading Review.


Newport City Council is committed to working towards its workforce being more representative of the population that we serve and particularly welcomes applications from people from the minority ethnic communities represented (or living) in the city. Selection will be made on ability and skills to undertake the role.


Closing date: 30th April 2023


We welcome applications for all our jobs in either Welsh or English
