Assist in running after-school activities and support a safe, engaging session.

Casual Programme Assistant - Central Auckland

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!

Job Description

As a Casual Programme Assistant, you'll be the friendly face that makes the mornings and/or afternoons unforgettable for children! You'll be working mainly in the afternoons.

  • Afternoon/ After School shifts run between 2.30pm–6.00pm. Availability from 2.30pm is essential, though finish times may vary.
  • Potential school holiday programmes hours available (between 7am - 6pm).

Here's what you'll be up to:

  • Supervising and supporting Tamariki in a range of fun, safe activities
  • Keeping our spaces tidy, clean, and welcoming for children
  • Helping your Programme Manager run smooth, energetic sessions that keep kids buzzing
  • Spotting any hiccups (behaviour, wellbeing, safety) and sharing with your manager so everyone stays supported

Perks & Benefits:

  • 50% discount on selected sKids programmes – perfect for your own children!
  • Referral bonus – bring awesome people into our team and earn up to $250 per referral
  • Work-life balance – no weekend work and the middle of the day free for your own time
  • Employee Assistance Programme – access wellbeing support when you need it
  • A fun, supportive crew who love what they do and celebrate each other's wins
