Would you like to join a vibrant, exciting team working alongside families and volunteers in North Lanarkshire?

Home-Start Glasgow North and North Lanarkshire is a charity making a big impact on families with young children (under 5) in the local area. We are now excited to welcome two new enthusiastic and creative Play Workers to join our team. The role involves assisting in the planning and delivery of engaging group sessions for children and families as part of our community-based group work.

Home-Starts across the UK work alongside families in their own homes and in communities to help them through challenging times. We support parents through 1:1 volunteer support and groups helping them to cope with the stresses and strains of life and make sure they have the skills, confidence, and strength they need to nurture their children. We provide a listening ear, and our non-judgemental, compassionate, confidential support offers a vital lifeline to parents and helps ensure children have the best possible start in life.

The role is initially funded for one year with the possibility of extended funding.

• A creative approach to designing activities that encourage engagement, development and fun for children and parents/caregivers
• The ability to work as part of a team and build positive relationships with families
• Flexibility and adaptability to adjust to changing needs and situations
