We're looking for a bright, lively, positive early years professional to help lead our Kids' Zone family and ensure children who join us have stellar experiences.
We don't believe in paperwork-based assessments and know the true power of play, indoors and out.

You'll be full of fresh ideas to make each Kids' Zone session shine, from supporting team development to pre-planning activities, as well as doing 'in-the-moment planning' and 'loose parts' play.
In return for your energy and commitment, you'll find yourself in a team with a shared outlook on life where friendship, connection, flexibility, variety and challenge make every working day worthwhile.,
