ParkPlay Play Leader

ParkPlay

Bringing the energy, warmth & community spirit to every session.

From planning activities and encouraging people to join in, to helping sessions run smoothly and making everyone feel included, PlayLeaders play a huge role in bringing communities together.


You won’t be doing it alone. Sessions are led by teams, the responsibility is shared, and many PlayLeaders volunteer just once or twice a month.


For lots of people, it becomes one of the best parts of their week.


To start your PlayLeader journey, visit our Team Hub to complete a one-hour online training course, plus a DBS check and first aid training if required.
