Job description

Harris Hill is delighted to be partnering with a well-established children’s charity in London in their search for a Deputy Play Manager.

Full-time | £34,000 per annum

The charity has been supporting children, young people and families for over 25 years through a range of play, family support and youth programmes. Their Ofsted-registered after-school and holiday play schemes provide children aged 4–11 with safe, engaging and nurturing environments to explore, grow and thrive.

As Deputy Play Manager, you’ll play a key leadership role within the play service, helping to design, deliver and evaluate a high-quality programme of activities. You’ll support the Play Manager in day-to-day operations (including managing enquiries/collection of fees), team management and ensuring compliance with all safeguarding, health and safety, and Ofsted standards.

This is a hands-on role combining leadership, planning, and active delivery — you’ll work directly with children and families to create safe, inclusive, and stimulating play environments.

About You

Essential skills and experience:

  • Level 3 qualification (or above) in Playwork, Early Years, or a related field.
  • Minimum of three years’ experience working directly with children aged 4–11.
  • Strong understanding of EYFS and Ofsted requirements.
  • Experience planning and delivering engaging, age-appropriate play activities.
  • Confident leading active, outdoor or adventure-based play.
  • Sound understanding of safeguarding and child protection.
  • Excellent communication and team leadership skills.
  • Strong organisational and IT skills.

Desirable:

  • Experience supporting children with additional needs or from diverse backgrounds.
  • Experience supervising others or managing volunteers.
  • Knowledge of current issues affecting children and families.
  • Relevant training such as paediatric first aid or food hygiene.

Play is at the heart of what they do — the organisation believes that every child deserves the opportunity to enjoy a happy, fulfilling childhood through both free and guided play experiences.

If you’re passionate about play, child development and helping young people thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
