Watergate Bay Hotel – a place to take your
childcare career to new heights. With a team that values connection,
flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact
on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change –

lifetime.
Does helping children play light up your day? Are
you full of fresh ideas to make our Kids’ Zone sessions shine? Are you
outgoing, upbeat and able to make friends of every age wherever you go? Do you
enjoy ocean views, breaks on the sand, and surfing after work? If so, we want
you! Join us and be part of a team that values connection, creativity, and
making a positive impact on children’s lives.
The role:
At our hotel, we’re looking for a team who are passionate about making every
Kids’ Zone session magic, value positive lifestyle choices and excel in
imagination and energy. As a member of our team, you'll work alongside others
who prioritize our guests and support each other.
We seek dynamic individuals who understand that the
beach is our playground - we know how to make the most of being so close to it,
whatever the weather. You’ll thrive on teamwork, eager to get stuck in with
running Kids’ Zone sessions for children. The role is all about following ‘in the
moment planning’ and encouraging ‘loose parts play,’ rather than completing
paperwork-based assessments.
If you’re a likemind, with a Level 3 childcare qualification and a
passion for play, indoors and out, it’s you we’re looking for.

workshops, DT and woodwork, social gaming and crafting.

nurturing and inclusive environment.
* Making sure children are always safe and secure.
* Developing good working relationships with parents/carers and other
professionals.
* Completing daily administration tasks as needed.

other
