This role is to help create a safe and engaging environment for children aged 0-4 years old and their parents/carers by:

• Setting up toys at the beginning of the session.
• Talking to parents - they enjoy a good chat! Sometimes we are the only other adults that they see. 
• Engaging with the babies and children - this is so rewarding and fun to do!
• Making hot drinks - Our parents/carers are always so grateful to be offered a drink as they come in. 
• Clearing up after snack
• Putting toys away
• Being a friendly face - As mentioned, sometimes we are the only adults that these parents/carers see in a day, so we want to be approachable and friendly. Parenting/caring can be hard and lonely, so we want to support them as much as we can.

What skills do I need?

• Good listening and communication skills

We ask that you are friendly, approachable and I think to work with children, you need to have a good sense of humour!
