  • Lead safe, fun, and engaging sessions that keep kids buzzing while making sure everything runs smoothly
  • Be the friendly, go-to face for parents and schools, keeping communication warm and positive
  • Guide, support, and inspire your team to shine and bring their best every day
  • Arrive early to prep activities, co-ordinate Programme Assistants, and set up resources for a smooth start

  • Have the right to work in New Zealand (valid visa or citizenship)
  • Can get to Windsor North/ Waihopaisite with reliable transportation and/or a vehicle
