ABOUT THE ROLE
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of families and children? Join our dynamic team as we deliver impactful group programmes and empower communities.

You'll promote the joy of positive play, guiding parents and carers in enriching interactions with their children, all grounded in the Five to Thrive ethos. Safeguarding and promoting the well-being of early years children is at the heart of what we do, and you'll be a key player in this mission. You'll build strong, supportive relationships with families and professionals, ensuring every group provision meets OFSTED regulations and achieves meaningful outcomes. Your role will be vital in retaining 80% of families through engaging and effective programmes. By actively engaging with local communities and promoting our resources, you'll help us reach even more families, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Together, we'll create a supportive, thriving community where every family can flourish.
