Fun Fest are recruiting, join the team!
Fun Fest Holiday Club is a fun-filled destination for children during the school holidays. Offering a menu of 40+ activities for children to create their own activity program, we host sessions from Harry Potter to Crafty Creations, Sublime Slime to Around the World. Every day is packed with adventure, creativity, and excitement. Each morning and afternoon block offers a choice between 2 activities – a creative and an active session. Children are in a safe environment to develop skills or try something new with their friends.
Being a Fun Fest worker is a unique and rewarding experience, providing endless opportunities to engage with children and help them build memories that last a lifetime.
A typical day in the life of a Fun Fest Holiday Club worker is full of activities; from planning out the day’s schedule to supervising and participating in games and crafts. The day starts early to support parents who need extended childcare hours. As staff members arrive, they are updated with plans for that day and note of any children who need additional support.
Fun Fest Holiday Club workers play a critical role in keeping the children engaged, safe, and happy. They act as mentors; providing guidance and support to the children as they work on themed topics, are challenged actively and explore the natural world around them. Additionally they often act as referees, ensuring that games are played fairly and safely, and that all the children have an equal chance to participate. We encourage free play throughout the day, getting outdoors as much as possible. Although there is a structure at Fun Fest, we encourage children to share ideas and interests to incorporate into the day – it is their Holiday Club after all! Fun Fest Managers support the staff and processes on site. With a keen knowledge of safeguarding, they ensure policies and Ofsted guidelines are adhered to on a daily basis.
Throughout the day we encourage Fun Fest staff and children to note what worked well or needs adjustment for the week ahead; to continually improve the child’s experience. This is an excellent opportunity for workers to share ideas and support each other to ensure that every day is a success.
Working at Fun Fest Holiday Club is not just a job; it is a chance to help children learn and grow in a fun and supportive environment. There are promotional opportunities and inhouse training modules to develop key skills. You can choose to work flexible hours and we offer free childcare from the age of 3+ for your own child. Competitive rates and holiday pay for every staff member; at Fun Fest we recognise qualifications and hard work that goes into childcare roles.
Our current positions include: Club Manager, Deputy Manager, Play Leader and Play Worker. We have 5 clubs fully operational, with 2 more ready to open from Easter 2024. The clubs are located in Altrincham, Cheadle, Bramhall, Northwich and Middlewich.
