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

Here's what you'll be up to
- Be the superstar running our sKids programmes day-to-day – from set-up to smooth operations – while building awesome relationships with our school communities
- Supervise and join Tamariki in awesome activities like arts & crafts, sports, games, offsite adventures (swimming, walks, picnics, movies), baking, drama, and music
- 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)
