About The Peligoni Club

The Peligoni Club is a family-run members club on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece. Our Teens programme is designed to give young guests aged 11+ a chance to connect, make friends and enjoy some independence while taking part in relaxed, social, outdoor activities around the club. From watersports tasters to pool games and evening hangouts, our approach is fun, informal and confidence-building - never ‘childcare.’

We’re looking for energetic, outgoing and responsible Teen Leaders to deliver a fun, social and engaging experience for our teen guests. You’ll facilitate relaxed group activities, encourage teens to meet each other, and help them feel at home in the club.

While teens will be your main focus, you’ll also work collaboratively with the wider childcare team and be happy to support other age groups on occasion.

• Support teen sessions for watersports (with the watersports team handling technical instruction).
• Help run low-key evening hangouts, events and activities for teens.
• Be a friendly, positive presence around the club, checking in with teens throughout the day.
• Assist other children’s groups when needed.
• Maintain high standards of safety, supervision and risk awareness at all times.
• Build friendly relationships with parents and offer reassurance when needed.
• Optionally : take on paid babysitting as additional work
• Support smooth club operations by taking on additional responsibilities where required.

About You

• Energetic, outgoing and confident with young people.
• Approachable, friendly and able to put teens at ease quickly.
• Fun, sociable and able to lead activities with high energy and positivity.
• Responsible, safety-conscious and confident supervising groups.
• Adaptable and happy to support different age groups when needed.
• A strong communicator with great interpersonal skills.
• Organised, proactive and comfortable working outdoors.
• A positive team player with a can-do attitude.

Essential Requirements

• Experience working with teens or young people (sports coaching, youth groups, camps, clubs etc.).
• Confident swimmer.
• DBS Certificate, Garda Vetting or equivalent.
• Paediatric First Aid (desirable but training can be provided).
• Experience supporting group activities or events.
• Available for the peak season (July & August).
• UK / EU passport holder.

Why Join Us

As a Teen Leader at The Peligoni Club, you’ll spend the summer outdoors, helping young people build friendships, try new activities and make memories they’ll never forget. You’ll work in a stunning Greek island setting as part of a fun, supportive and energetic childcare team.
