**Introduction**:
About the role

As a member of our OSHC team you will never be bored. Every day is fun filled, dynamic and sometimes challenging. You will learn on the job and as well as in your studies and have the extra benefit of being mentored by dedicated leaders. Many of our Managers began just like you will and are now leaders. There are a variety of opportunities, before and after school care, holiday (vacation care) and there is room to move your way up through CRCS. We value people, and provide a supportive environment for you to achieve and grow your skills.

Working with children means you must have very good people skills with high energy levels and patience. Having an interest in sport, art, music, science, drama or anything else that you are good at will be welcomed by the Director as it will add to the pool of talents in our teams. Each day you will support the Director in offering high quality play based care and gain satisfaction from assisting the children to master new skills as well as ensuring that they are enjoying their time at the centre and are actively participating in activities.

To be considered for this unbelievable opportunity you will need be genuinely committed to children, have even a brief resume that shows one of your achievements it could be in sport, or school or even at Scouts.
