PlayBoard NI

PlayBoard is the leading agency for the promotion, development and delivery of play in Northern Ireland.  This vibrant organisation is at the forefront of shaping the future of children and young people’s play opportunities and experiences.

Since its establishment in 1985, PlayBoard NI has been committed to supporting children and young people’s play through a combination of:

• Service delivery and development
• Campaigning and lobbying
• Research, evaluation and awareness raising
• Working in partnership with others to put play on the agenda of policy makers and resource providers; and
• Promoting best practice in Play and Playwork

A membership organisation, PlayBoard NI works closely with and provides support to over 1300 members, all of whom are committed to helping us to achieve our goal of developing quality play opportunities that improve children and young people’s lives across Northern Ireland.

As a rights-based organisation we strongly believe that play is an intrinsic aspect of children and young people’s lives. PlayBoard NI works from the premise that play is fundamental to a healthy and happy childhood. Play challenges and informs our understanding of children and young people because it views them as competent and confident human beings

If you are a proactive person with a strong focus on service delivery, take pride and ownership in your contribution, have excellent attention to detail and want to be part of a growing organisation this could be your next role.
