Playworker is a British professional term for a trained childcare worker who specialises in supporting children's play — facilitating free play environments in after-school clubs, adventure playgrounds, and holiday schemes. The role is distinct from teaching or formal childminding; playworkers are trained in play theory and believe in child-led, unstructured play as a developmental right. The term is specific to the British playwork sector and comes with a professional qualification framework and vocational ethics.
