You will be working with a team in one of our kids clubs, caring for our young customers ranging from 4 -11 years old in our Whizz Kid Club. We want all the children in our care to have a safe and fun holiday and you are responsible for providing a stimulating, caring and safe environment to the highest standards, at times you may also be needed to help care for the 6 month - 4 year old children in the Pepi Penguin Club. Whizz Kid Leaders give the children an active and exciting experience with bum boarding, snowman building, arts and crafts and drop offs and pick ups from ski school.
