Play Scotland: Play and Wellbeing Practitioner

• 15 hours per week
• £23,565 - £24,813 pro rata (35 hour FTE)
• Midlothian

Play Midlothian is seeking a playful, adaptable and confident individual for this post, to deliver high quality services, enabling children to thrive through play.

Play Midlothian uses a range of service delivery models, but all services have playwork practice and self-directed play at their core, in particular use of loose parts and play with natural materials.

The sessions take place in a variety of community settings. Some are indoors, though a high proportion of our current services are exclusively outdoors (all year round), therefore the role will particularly suit applicants with a fondness for the outdoors.

Play Midlothian works with children and young people aged 0-13 (and at times older), with their parents/carers at some sessions, and often with specific needs (including disability and emerging mental health challenges).

For the right candidate, this will be a highly rewarding and stimulating role, offering plenty of variety in their work, while enabling their passion for children’s play to shine though.
