About the Role

Our Afterschool programmes provide a safe, welcoming, and engaging home-from-home environment where children can relax, complete their homework, and take part in a wide range of fun and enriching activities at the end of the school day.

As an Afterschool Flexi Relief Team Member, you'll provide cover across multiple Kids Inc. services within the advertised area during staff absences, annual leave, training, and vacancies. You'll play an important role in ensuring children continue to receive high-quality care and enjoy a fun, positive experience every day.

This role offers flexibility and variety, with the opportunity to work across different services and teams. Hours will depend on cover requirements, so the availability of shifts may vary from week to week. As this is a relief position, hours are not guaranteed, making it ideal for someone who values flexibility rather than a fixed weekly schedule.

• Supporting the day-to-day running of our Afterschool programmes as required
• Providing relief cover across multiple services within the advertised area
• Maintaining a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment for all children
• Travelling between the advertised locations as required

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience working with children is preferred
• A positive, reliable, and enthusiastic attitude
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A genuine interest in working with children and supporting their development
• Fluent spoken and written English
• Flexibility and availability to provide relief cover across the advertised locations as required
• Willingness and ability to travel between the advertised locations
• An understanding that hours are not guaranteed and will depend on cover requirements
• Full driving licence is an advantage but not essential
• Willingness to complete Garda Vetting and reference checks

What's In It For You?

• €15.75 per hour
• Paid, certified in-house training
• Career progression opportunities across a nationwide organisation
• Ongoing support from experienced managers and child development specialists
• Employee referral programme
• Bike to Work Scheme
