Better Start is a Government initiative. It is fully funded by the
Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

In response to a request by the Department of Children, Equality,
Disability, Integration and Youth, Better Start set up an on-site play
facility for children of families arriving from Ukraine to the City
West Conference Centre transit hub in March **Apply on the website**.
Specifically, the brief was to resource and oversee an onsite play
facility for children (all ages) in refugees? arrival centre on a 7
day basis, for an initial 3 month period which could extend, subject
to need.
Pobal now wishes to recruit a dedicated team of play facilitators to
provide this service on a longer-term basis. The Project Coordinator
will provide a key leadership role in coordinating play provision and
managing the team, working collaboratively with Department staff and
other agencies on site.
The Citywest play environment operates from 8am ? 9pm, 7 days per
week and therefore staff employed will be scheduled to work on a rota
basis on 7.5 hours per day/ **Apply on the website** hours per week,
which will include evening and weekend work. As the context for this
work can change rapidly, the roles will be required to be flexible and
adaptable to changes that may arise over time. The location and/or
provision of play facilities for children may change over time, based
on the changing context and changes to government policy.
The successful candidates will be working primarily in the Citywest
location with team and other meetings taking place in the Company?s
Dublin Offices. Based on the changing nature of the Ukraine emergency
response, the primary location and work programme may be adapted over
time
