About this Role

Thank you for your interest in the role of Playworker.


Hammer Lane Academy are delighted to be looking to appoint a committed and experienced Playworker to join our brand new staff team in our new provision at Hammer Lane. 


Hammer Lane Academy is a purpose-built independent specialist school for children in EYFS and  KS1 that opened in September 2025. It provides an environment, that empowers children to make progress providing the support required to develop according to their personal needs as identified in their Education Health and Care Plan. 


To join on us on this exciting journey, we are seeking a practitioner with expertise in supporting children, or a willingness to develop within this area, with a range of additional and complex needs, particularly those with ASD and social communication/interaction difficulties. We are seeking applicants with experience of working with a range of communication interaction strategies and communication systems such as Pictorial Exchange Communication Systems (PECS) and Makaton signing systems and experience of working with bespoke/personalised curriculums to meet individual need. 


The whole staff team work in a positive and collaborative environment where the needs of the children are at the heart of all best practice and decision-making. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a strong and dedicated team who are committed to high standards and creating an inclusive learning environment for all children. 


We look forward to receiving your application.


Warm Regards,

Laura Thresh 

Head of SEND and Inclusion
