• Deliver weekly outreach ‘open access’ play sessions in Bristol.
• Deliver in-house play sessions in the Children’s Scrapstore playroom (flexible Saturday requirement).

Much of the role is outside, all year round and in all weathers.

Hours:                         37.5 hours a week

Monday – Saturday.  The majority of hours will be Mon – Fri but the equivalent of 26 Saturdays per year (in house) will be included (to be agreed in advance)

Location:                     Based at head office in Bristol with day-to-day work travelling across the southwest to schools and play sessions.

(Schools/settings within a 2-hour radius are travelled to within a day, arriving from 8.30am. Occasional further afield trips will involve overnight stays)
