Original job description
This position works across our children’s programs, supporting our youngest members ages 0–6 through to juniors ages 7–12, based on program needs. The role includes shifts in our Penguin Club Baby-to-6 yrs, in our Afternoon Zone Program (ages 3–8 yrs), and supporting our school-age programs (ages 7 - 12yrs).
A key focus will be leading engaging PD Day and school break programs for children ages 7–12. We are looking for someone who is energetic, takes initiative, gets involved, and builds positive relationships with children, families, and coworkers.
Working at the Royal Glenora Club offers something different from a traditional childcare setting. You’ll have the opportunity to work with children of different ages, build lasting relationships with Club families, and create programming that takes advantage of our recreational environment and facilities.
You’ll enjoy variety in your day, opportunities to be creative with programming, and the chance to be part of a larger team focused on creating exceptional experiences for our members and their families.
Hours may include daytime and evening shifts depending on program needs.
