We are looking for a dynamic ‘Outdoor Play and Learning –Youth Worker’ who is ready to take on an exciting new challenge. Our Children want you to be fun, to support them to lead and initiate the play and to share and nurture their passion for nature, the outdoors, play, food, cookery, woodcraft, and building.

In 2016, after community led consultation and design collaboration with local children, we fundraised and built ‘The Natural Play Area’. We have around 160 children registered to play and deliver 300 plus, play-based activities each year.

Over the last three years we have transitioned from externally contracted play rangers to our own team of 3 part time Outdoor Play and Learning youth workers and 5 sessional Outdoor Play and Learning youth workers. We also have big plans - our current play area has become too small for all the kids who want to play – we have ambitions to take over a large plot of Vacant land next to our current site, and to work with the Children and our community to develop this into a purpose-built adventure playground and outdoor play and learning hub
