Full Job Description
We are looking to recruit a dedicated and compassionate person to deliver our weekly Forest Playschool programmes at West Boldon Lodge. West Boldon Lodge is a partnership between Groundwork SaNT and National Grid, helping people to connect with nature. Forest Playschool is an outdoor play programme for young children aged 1-5 and their parents.
You will deliver a project funded by BBC Children in Need, Masonic Charitable Fund, and a chargeable project. You will be responsible for achieving the aims of the projects:
1. Children will have increased self-confidence. In contrast with the national trend, children attending this project will be supported to overcome challenges and achieve. This exposure to risk and challenge creates resilience and self-confidence, as proven by a body of Forest School research.
2. Children will have stronger family relationships with parents who are more engaged with their play, learning and development. Through fun, free, engaging activities, parents will be supported to notice and participate in their children's development, enabling and equipping them with the skills, knowledge and environment to support it further.
3. Children will develop emotional expression. Through Forest School and imaginative play, children will be able to explore how they naturally feel in different situations and be supported and empowered to express these emotions and begin to understand them.
The successful candidate will also run other family events at West Boldon Lodge, and there may be additional hours available facilitating school visits to the natures site.
We are a fast paced and diverse charity with an excellent track record in partnership working and high-quality delivery.
We are committed to the employment and career development of disabled people. To demonstrate our commitment we have been awarded the Disability Confident Scheme Symbol, which is awarded by the Employment Service.
Applicants should be aware that the post will only be offered to successful candidates subject to an Enhanced DBS check as well as other employment clearances.
Groundwork SaNT believes that a child, young person or vulnerable adult should never experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children, young people and vulnerable adults and to keep them safe. We are committed to practice in a way that protects them.
