We value the positive impact of difference within our organisation and want our team to reflect the diverse cultures, ethnicities, languages and experiences of the families who participate in our activities. We particularly encourage applications from people from Global Majority backgrounds, those who speak a language spoken by local communities in Hackney, and those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances. 

Hackney Playbus is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and families and expect all members of our team to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be required to apply for an enhanced Criminal Records Check via DBS.

We are looking for an individual with skills and experience in accounting and financial management to join our Board and to work with our Financial Director to oversee the financial affairs of the charity.

We particularly welcome trustees who reflect the cultures, ethnicities and languages of the families with whom we work with in Hackney and those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances.

You do not have to have prior experience of being a Trustee as we will provide help, information and a friendly induction process.

Community Lunch Volunteer

We’re looking for volunteers to help out at our weekly community lunch on Tuesdays during term time, serving lunch for families and their babies and toddlers.

The venue is in N1 and we need help between 10.30am-1.30pm – you could stay for the whole thing, or just join for part of it! Tasks include setting up tables, chopping up fruit, serving lunch (it’s already made!), clearing plates and washing up.

If you’re interested to know more please get in touch with Sabana on [email protected].

 


Volunteer Photographer

We’d love someone to help us capture the work that we do on camera! If you’re a photographer and would be happy to lend your skills to a small charity, please get in touch. Contact Sabana on [email protected] for more information.
