GLL is looking for a Children Activity Instructor to work at The Sands Centre. If you have the skills and ambition to join us, there's never been a more exciting time, this is more than a job, it's a career.

We believe that children should be active, stimulated and sociable. That’s why at GLL, we run Holiday Play Schemes at our Better Leisure Centres throughout the UK. The schemes run during school holidays and provide a safe, yet fun haven for children from 5+ years old. As well as being enjoyable for the children, they’re very convenient for working parents too. Working as part of a team, you’ll create a structured, safe and fun environment using the facilities around you. You’ll be confident in leading children through a mix of arts & crafts and sporting activities that can include (dependent on availability) anything from football, basketball, swimming (where possible), trampolining and even bouncy castles. You’ll encourage an environment of respect and friendship amongst the children, especially as they can be from very diverse backgrounds. We also host children’s birthday parties which you’ll play a key role in assisting with.

**What you’ll do**:

- To be responsible for structured activities for a group of children.
- To ensure that birthday parties meet the expectations of the birthday child and their guests.
- To encourage with appropriate use of praise

**What you need**:

- You should have a minimum Level 2 in Childcare / Play Work or a Level 2 coaching qualification and be able to respond to both group and individual needs.
- It will be beneficial to have knowledge of Ofsted and Health & Safety legislation as well as the qualities that parents and guardians expect from childcare provision.
- It goes without saying that you’ll be friendly and approachable as well as being imaginative, creative and a positive role model to the children that you supervise.

- A Values driven organisation
- Learning & development to support career development
- Good Pension schemes
- Discounted gym membership for you and your partner.
