About Us
Slade Gardens Community Play Association is a small registered charity that operates a 1.25-acre staffed adventure playground in the heart of Lambeth. Our open-access service welcomes children and young people aged 0-21, providing them with the freedom to come and go independently while enjoying a diverse and stimulating play environment designed to support exploration, creativity and development.
About the Role
This is a genuinely hands-on, hybrid role. In this small organisation, one person will carry operational playwork leadership alongside fundraising, safeguarding, finance, governance, line management and community partnership. If you’d love being out in the playground itself as much as building the plans and partnerships that keep it thriving, we would like to hear from you.
Please see attached the full job description.
Please send your CV together with a supporting statement (maximum two sides) addressing the essential criteria. Informal enquiries and visits are warmly encouraged — please get in touch.
Our process has two stages:
1. Application: CV plus a supporting statement no longer than two sides.
2. Interview: a panel conversation and a short, scenario-based discussion, plus an informal visit to the playground during a session — for many candidates the most enjoyable and revealing part of the process.
Children aged 0-21 in the borough of Lambeth have the right to play freely and safely in a healthy outdoor environment.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
