The Governors of our friendly, inclusive primary school are seeking to appoint an inspirational and highly motivated playworker to join our dedicated team. This is a particularly exciting time to become part of Arden Primary School, as we welcome a new, ambitious Headteacher and continue our drive to make Arden a flagship school within the local area.

The playworker will be someone who is caring, energetic, and confident working with children. The ideal candidate will be a team player who can also work independently and who understands the needs of children and families.
