Description

There is an exciting opportunity to join our Play Team at GOSH as a Play Worker.

We have a One Team ethos, and you will be required to support your fellow Play Team members across the whole hospital.

Play is integral to the wellbeing of children, young people and families, and this post will see you use your knowledge of play and child development to provide normalising play opportunities, promoting a positive patient experience.

The role of the Play Worker enhances children and young people's hospital experiences.

This may be at the bedside or in a playroom setting, bringing your creative skills, enthusiasm and passion to deliver meaningful play opportunities, while providing much needed family support.

You will provide high quality, holistic play for all children and their families across the Trust, enabling them to feel safe and at ease within the hospital environment

You will work flexibly with other Play Workers within the team, under the guidance of the Health Play Specialist.

You will ensure that all children and young people have appropriate access to play whilst at the hospital and offer opportunities to play that reflects diversity and inclusivity.
