Working schedule will be rostered based on Programme requirements (similar to a reliver role).

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

Perks & Benefits

• 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
