Are you passionate about making a difference in early childhood education? Do you believe in the power of play to unlock potential? Join our Toybox team and help transform the lives of Traveller and Roma children (aged 0-4) by creating meaningful opportunities for growth and learning! 

Early Years – the organisation for young children wish to recruit a Toybox Project Worker to work within the Early Years Team.

There are two 25 hour positions available: One of the roles will be based in Dungannon, covering the mid-Ulster area and Ballymena, (as required). The second role will be based in Newry covering Newry, Armagh and South Armagh as required.

There may be an opportunity for the  hours of this role to be increased, subject to funding.

As part of our team, you’ll work closely with the Project Manager, Toybox team, families, local communities and stakeholders to bring early years' development into the heart of the community. You’ll deliver interactive and engaging play experiences directly to families, no matter where they live—on Traveller sites, at the roadside, or in settled homes. Your hands-on approach will support and empower parents as the ‘first educators,’ promoting healthy child development through the joy of play.
