Love working with young people? Join our Christchurch team and help create fun, engaging, and memorable experiences that empower tamariki and rangatahi to be the best they can be.
For nearly 100 years, Youthtown has empowered tamariki and rangatahi to be the best they can be, and you can join us on our mission! We deliver youth-focused programmes across Aotearoa, New Zealand, and our team are dedicated to making these programmes fun, safe, and inclusive.
We are looking for casual Programme Team Members to join our team in creating safe, inclusive and engaging experiences for tamariki and rangatahi in our after-school and holiday programmes. While delivering our programmes, you’ll also be supporting young people to build confidence, develop new skills and make meaningful connections.
This is a casual position, with shifts available in the mornings, across after-school programmes, holiday programmes and youth activities during school terms and school holidays. You will need to be able to get to different program locations across Christchurch (e.g. Woolston and Haswell)
You will have great teamwork skills, a fantastic "can-do" attitude and the ability to quickly connect with children and young people. If you have specific skills in sports, outdoor activities, dance, drama, craft or art, that’s even better!
Above all, you will have a commitment and passion for developing young people and empowering them to be the best they can be!
