Play Worker

Our Mums' and Young Children's Group is a twice-weekly support group for mums with their young children. It offers mums a safe space to express, reflect upon and address their needs, whilst their children are cared for by our trained play leader and team of volunteer play workers.

Volunteering as a play worker offers the chance to improve a young child’s confidence and help local mums and their families to build a more positive future. You will gain hands-on experience in supporting children to initiate and direct their own play in order to explore their own experiences and further development.

The group runs on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9.30-12.30 and we ask for a consistent commitment to either or both days for a minimum period of 6 months. The group takes place at Colebrook Street in Winchester, with much of each session taking place in our beautiful garden throughout the year (weather permitting). 

Full training given. An enhanced DBS check will be required.
