Job description

BGC Saskatoon is looking for enthusiastic and caring individual to join our Before and After School and Mini Club team as a Program Supervisor. In this role, you will oversee the daily operations of the program, provide leadership and direction to staff, and ensure a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment for children and youth.

Position Details

The Before and After School and/or Mini Club Program Supervisor typically works up to 30 hours per week, overseeing the daily operations of a large school-age program serving 45+ children each day. This role is responsible for ensuring a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for participants while providing leadership and direction to program staff. Program Supervisors support high-quality programming, maintain strong relationships with families and school partners, and ensure program standards are met across locations in Saskatoon and surrounding communities, including Dalmeny, Langham, Warman, and Whitecap Dakota Nation.

Shifts are available on school days only and may be scheduled before school (approximately 7:15 a.m. to the first bell), after school (approximately 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), or both, depending on program needs. Start times vary by location, and all shifts are paid for a minimum of three hours.

This position is ideal for post-secondary students, stay-at-home parents, newcomers to Canada seeking experience, or youth entering the workforce. With management approval, Program Supervisors may also be able to bring their own non-school-aged children to the program.

Additional opportunities may include providing 1:1 support for children with exceptional needs, accepting casual shifts at various locations, and working full-time or part-time hours during the summer in our camp programs and early learning centres.

What You’ll Do

Program Supervisors will provide respectful, inclusive and quality programs by committing to:

• Coordinating programming, delegating tasks, maintaining strong communication with families, schools, and management.
• Supporting their team in delivering high-quality recreational, educational, and physical activity opportunities each day.
• Attending monthly meetings at the main office and picking up program supplies.

• Treat children and youth with respect, acceptance and honesty
• Actively supervise groups of children (ratio of 1 program leader to 15 children) and ensure children feel physically and emotionally safe & secure
• Use positive guidance and behavior management practices
• Interact with participants in a patient, interested, understanding and caring manner
• Daily communication with parents/guardians
• Work, communicate and collaborate as part of a team (program leaders, managers, supervisors, and school administration)
• Maintain and submit monthly attendance records and month end documentation.

Support You’ll Receive

The Before & After School Program Supervisors are supported by a team of program managers and supervisors who will assist with:

• Program supplies and materials
• Scheduling and time-off requests
• Program evaluations
• Problem-solving and resource support
• Communication with parents and school administration (as needed)
• Bi-weekly payroll processing.

Qualifications/Requirements
