Belle Isle Summer Holiday Playworkers

Could you run craft, sport and play activities with primary school agreed children in Belle Isle? To support the school holiday free food and activities for Belle Isle families, BITMO is looking for playworkers to run morning sessions on the six Fridays during the school holidays and three afternoon sessions between 15 and 22 August.

BITMO will provide a playbox full of outdoor equipment to use in the 15 – 23 August period and the materials and a space for you to run the activities during the Friday breakfast club on the other days.

We will pay £15 an hour for the 2-hour sessions and for a further half hour for your preparation and planning time. BITMO staff and volunteers wil help with set up and tidy up on the playbox sessions. There will be training on how to get the best out of playboxes .

The dates in full are:

Arts, crafts and other table-based play in the GATE during breakfast club (one worker)
Friday 26 July 9.15-11.15

Friday 23 August 9.30-11.30

Candidates must have a DBS and some paid or voluntary experience of working with primary school aged children, including awareness of safeguarding issues. The position is open to job share – so if two suitable people were appointed we could split the sessions between them. There is a possibility that further hours could be offered on a few Tuesday and Thursday afternoons during the summer.
