(Please note that SCC is in consultation with the relevant unions and salaries are expected to increase retrospectively to 1st April 2024).

The ideal candidate may be a teacher looking for a change or new challenge for an experienced Playworker (Level 3 qualified with at least a year’s experience) who is able to plan interesting activities, provide a range of activities daily including outdoor play and opportunities to relax or do homework.
