Are you an energetic, positive individual who delights in working with children?

We're actively seeking an enthusiastic Play Lead to join our team and become a vital part of our exciting Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) programme.

This unique opportunity, operating weekdays from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm during term time, is perfect for anyone deeply passionate about child development, play, or education.

As a Play Lead, you will supervise vibrant outdoor play sessions, empowering children to explore, create, and learn through imaginative, active, and child-led experiences.

Your role will be instrumental in helping children develop confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, while collaborating with school staff to set up engaging play zones and ensure a safe, fun environment.

We're looking for someone reliable with a positive attitude and enthusiasm for outdoor learning; while experience with children is desirable, it's not essential as full training, including OPAL specifics, will be provided.

If you're ready to make playtimes more creative, inclusive, and genuinely fun, every single day, we encourage you to contact us!

Our Academy is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all the people on site.

Candidates will be asked to demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding children and complete an enhanced DBS check prior to appointment.
