Do you have the energy of a superhero, the creativity of an artist, and a passion for working with children? Join our team as a Childcare Activity Leader and turn ordinary mornings and afternoons into unforgettable adventures!
At Junior Adventures Group, we’re not just childcare, we’re champions of fun! From football to face painting, scavenger hunts to snack time, you'll bring smiles, laughter, and energy to our Breakfast & After School Clubs for children aged 4–11.
This role is split shift, meaning you'll work mornings and afternoons, with a break in between (great for studying, hobbies, family, or even a nap!). You’ll also have the opportunity to increase your hours during Holiday Club seasons and Lunchtime Cover.
What you'll do day-to-day:
Deliver exciting, age-appropriate activities like multi-sports, arts & crafts, group games, and creative play.
Set up engaging play spaces and keep things safe, clean, and awesome.
Supervise children with care and enthusiasm, ensuring every child feels welcome, safe, and included.
Prepare snacks and manage sign-in/out processes with a friendly face and attention to detail.
Work split shifts: 7:30–9:00am and 3:30–6:00pm, perfect for work-life balance or those seeking part-time fun!
Be a team player who can also take the lead when needed.
