Monday, Wednesday & Thursday: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
*
Tuesday: 3:30 PM - 7:00 PM
*
Friday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM
*
Saturday: 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM (with a 30-minute break)
During School Holidays:

Monday to Saturday: 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM (with a 30-minute break)
*
Tuesday extended to 7:00 PM
Ideal Candidate Will Have:
*
Experience working with children and young people
*
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
*
Confidence in diffusing challenging situations with empathy
*
A proactive and friendly approach
*
Previous security experience preferred, but especially suited to those used to community or youth settings
