Deputy Play Manager £33,000- £34,000, Full-Time

We believe that play is essential to a happy and thriving childhood. Article 31 of the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states that “every child has the right to rest
and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child
and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts”. Too often, children are denied these
opportunities.

The Deputy Play Manager is a key member of the Play team, and the wider Winch
management team. They work closely with the Play Manager, to plan, deliver and evaluate
the provision for children, ensuring it contributes effectively towards the Winch’s mission,
values and goals. The Deputy Play Manager helps lead and manage the staff and volunteers,
deputising for the manager where required. They also work directly in the provision with
children; setting up, leading and participating in play activities and building relationships
with children and their families
