Job description
As a Children’s Activity Leader, you’ll be leading the charge, diving into action, and making unforgettable holiday memories for our youngest guests.
Big energy, big smiles, and even bigger fun! Our Kids' Club team is the heart and soul of our resorts—bold, vibrant, and packed with personality. It’s non-stop excitement from morning to night! Whether it’s high-energy pool games or creative crafting sessions, the kids bring the energy, and so do we!
You’ll be spending plenty of time in the water, so confidence in the pool or sea is a must. Quick thinking and adaptability are your superpowers—you’ll tackle any challenge with a smile (even when covered in paint, glitter, chocolate… or all three at once!).
Cool, Calm, and Collected!
Organisation is key to keeping our Kids’ Clubs running smoothly and maintaining their stellar reputation. Every day brings a new adventure, and it’s up to you to keep the fun flowing. We’re looking for people who light up when they’re working with kids of all ages. Sure, it’s a fast-paced, high-energy role, but if you’ve got the passion and stamina, you’ll spend an incredible summer in the sunshine, giving kids the holiday of their dreams.
