Children’s Play and Health Care Worker (0-2 Years Experience (Female Applicants only)
Must DRIVE & have OWN CAR. No visa Sponsorship available.
Due to the personal care needs and preferences of our clients, we are only able to consider female applicants for this role, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 (Schedule 9, Part 1)
Location: Greater Manchester
Role Type: Variable
Hours: Part-Time & Full-Time
Hourly Rate: £12.21
At Lagan’s Foundation, we’re not your typical care provider. We work differently because children need different things.
As a Children’s Play and Healthcare Worker, you’ll join our vibrant internal care team, supporting children and young people aged 0–19 with a variety of health and developmental needs, in their own homes and communities. You’ll be there to play, engage, and care — not just provide personal support. We are in families’ homes for a minimum of two hours per visit, and during that time, we don’t just tick off tasks, we create joy, promote development, and build lasting memories for children who may have limited time.
This role isn’t about ticking care plans — it’s about creating moments that matter.
Use play to connect, support learning, development and emotional wellbeing
Actively contribute to meaningful, fun, and safe experiences
Provide high-quality care alongside play, including personal care where needed
Build trusted relationships with families and colleagues
Think on your feet and adapt to each child’s unique world
Attend regular team meetings, training, and supervision
Keep up-to-date records and contribute to excellent communication across the team
Take part in team bonding, training, and buddying new team members
Be a true ambassador of Lagan’s Foundation — we are one family

Integrity – You do the right thing, even when no one is watching and raise concerns if required Good Communication – You listen well, speak kindly, and work as part of a team
Empathy – You truly understand and connect with the children and families you support
In addition, you’ll need:
Experience working with children and young people
A love for play-based learning and interaction
Confidence to work independently and collaboratively
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (with business insurance)
A willingness to work towards, or already hold, Level 3 Health & Social Care
Ideally, a qualification in childcare, play work, or similar and Level 2 Health and Social Care
A clear Enhanced DBS-Child & Adult
