Team vacancies

We are looking for especially talented and self-motivated individual who has the ability to make every child feel special with a warm smiling face or a loving hug.

You will preferably be a fun outgoing character, with the ability to change a sad face to a happy one with sensitive words or your entertaining sense of humour.

You must be able to read stories so many times that you no longer need the book but each time you read it you should react as if it’s the very first time.

Along with being able to read it upside down with at least 4 interruptions

You will preferably have a little bit of quirkiness, if a child wants you to be a Lion you will be the loudest one and won’t feel embarrassed when others are watching you. With the ability to engage others to join you.

You must have the ability to multi-task, for example you must be able to conduct a floating and sinking science experiment in the water tray, whilst also being the special guest at a birthday party with numerous cakes being brought to you, along with numerous renditions of “happy birthday to you…” by children in the play dough area.

Your main duties will include:
