We provide intensive support in our Roehampton and Battersea nursery project to parents and children under five where there are significant challenges with the parent/child relationship.
The Playroom Lead will need to be passionate about the importance of play in a child’s development and motivated to provide high quality play and learning opportunities for children with the full involvement of the parent. You will also need to be committed to Equal Opportunities and have an understanding of the impact of deprivation and an enthusiasm for improving the lives and opportunities of families and children. You will also be responsible for supporting parents in understanding the needs of their children, their parental role in their child’s development and the importance of play.
You will need an NVQ level 3 in Early Years and Childcare; an Early Years Foundation or the equivalent. Experience in the planning and delivery of a structured programme of play activities for children from birth to five using Early Years Foundation Stage learning goals plus an in-depth knowledge of the EYFS Framework is essential. You will also need a sensitive non-judgemental and professional approach and excellent assessment and record keeping skills including IT skills
We are forward looking, ambitious and with a commitment to continuous improvement. We are a people focused, can-do organisation, which strives for excellence in all we do and operate with mutual respect. If you share these values and behaviours and have the necessary skills then we look forward to hearing from you.
