  • Love the energy of being active - we average 10,000–20,000 steps a day, so no gym membership needed
  • Be comfortable with a bit of glitter, paint or playdough on your clothes at the end of the day.
  • Above all, communicate with kindness, think outside the box, and bring a sense of fun to every day.

At Alkeringa, we promise to:

  • Always put children first.

  • Provide the support and time you need to succeed.
  • Celebrate your efforts and achievements.
  • Make sure you feel valued, respected and part of something truly special.

If this sounds like the place for you, we'd love to hear from you
