What is the role?

Our playgroup coordinators provide the opportunity for caregivers to connect and young minds to grow and explore through play. 

You will set up sessions, meet and greet parents and attendees to foster relationships.

This role also has the responsibility for the administration portion of the playgroup, including term planning, health and safety and inventory of equipment and supplies.

When do I need to be available?

Playgroups only run during school terms. You will need to be available for set up and pack down, the playgroup session and a small amount of administration. 

What skills do I need?

You’ll be confident in fostering new relationships with new whānau and tamariki from a broad range of backgrounds and confident communicating the playgroup rules and processes.

Your relationship-building skills will extend to enabling others to form relationships and building a community feel.

Ideally, you will have prior experience in setting up play sessions which delight little ones. This could be through formal early education experience or experience caring for tamariki in your own life.
