Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

At sKids, we believe childhood should be full of laughter, learning, and adventure! Since 1996, we've been creating awesome out-of-school experiences for Tamariki across New Zealand. Today, we welcome more than 3,800 kids every day at over 170 school sites – and we're still growing!

When you work with us, you get to unleash your inner child. Think: messy art, science experiments, sports showdowns, cooking classes, and plenty of silly games. No two days are the same – and that's how we like it!

Job Description

As a Casual Programme Assistant, you'll be the friendly face that makes the mornings and/or afternoons unforgettable for children! You'll be working mainly in the afternoons.

• Afternoon/ After School shifts run between 2.30pm–6.00pm. Availability from 2.30pm is essential, though finish times may vary.
• Potential school holiday programme hours available (between 7am - 6pm).

This is a reliever role, so you'll be rostered on an "as required" basis – perfect if you're after flexibility while still making a big impact.

Here's what you'll be up to

• Supervising and supporting Tamariki in a range of fun, safe activities
• Keeping our spaces tidy, clean, and welcoming for children
• Helping your Programme Manager run smooth, energetic sessions that keep kids buzzing
• Spotting any hiccups (behaviour, wellbeing, safety) and sharing with your manager so everyone stays supported
• 50% discount on selected sKids programmes – perfect for your own children!
• Referral bonus – bring awesome people into our team and earn up to $250 per referral
• Work-life balance – no weekend work and the middle of the day free for your own time
• Employee Assistance Programme – access wellbeing support when you need it
• A fun, supportive crew who love what they do and celebrate each other's wins

Qualifications

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have the right to work in New Zealand (valid visa or citizenship)
• Can get to Nga Iwi, Robertson Road sites with reliable transportation and/or a vehicle
• Are enthusiastic about working with kids – from babysitting to coaching to volunteering, any experience counts!
• Are reliable, energetic, and keen to make every session special
