Jessica Foulds

Jessica has worked and volunteered in various playwork and education roles since 2008. Her passion for working with children and young people began when she was the Chair of a children's charity, providing accessible play opportunities in disadvantaged areas. She then went on to work in Early Years, followed by a Play Practitioner role, operating after school and holiday clubs.

Since 2017 she has been working in the primary education sector, as SEN 1:1 and as a HLTA, teaching across all key stages and supporting learning in Forest School provision. Her role then expanded to that of Play Co-ordinator, where she gained first hand experience of delivering the OPAL Primary Programme.

Jessica's enthusiasm for outdoor play extends to her personal life, as she loves spending time enjoying nature and going on adventures with her two children, husband and labradoodle.
