PART-TIME ROLES
MEANINGFUL WORK
Activity Centre Assistants are essential for making our residential courses run smoothly on our busiest days. In this role you will work directly with schools providing them with your expert customer care, supporting the Group Leaders on the activities and supervising meal times.
We know that part-time work doesn’t mean that your role can’t be fulfilling, hands on and fantastically good fun. We also know there are a lot of excellent people out there who aren’t looking for full-time employment and would thrive with the opportunities here.
WHY JOIN AS AN ACTIVITY CENTRE ASSISTANT?
We appreciate every single one of our team and believe that recognition for meaningful work is the cornerstone to job satisfaction.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
We hire for who you are, not what you know. Our values-based approach means we look for potential and mindset over activity experience and qualifications, we’ll teach you the rest through great training.
DEDICATED LINE MANAGER
No matter your role, everyone deserves high-quality line manager support. Throughout your probation and beyond, you will have regular contact with them as they guide their whole team to always deliver the best adventure trips for schools.
ACTIVITY SUPPORT
Activity Centre Assistants offer crucial support to the Group Leaders and children on their activities. From assisting their aim in Archery to helping with harness fittings and guaranteeing great fun on the Giant Swing, you will make a positive difference everywhere you go.
In order for our Activity Centre Assistants to have the biggest impact, we need to train them up to cover as much activity support as possible. This is great news for you as it also keeps your job varied and interesting with a lot of training opportunity.
OTHER SUPPORT YOU OFFER
The Robinwood course is so much more than a bunch of excellent activities and we ensure that every aspect is delivered expertly and with a high level of customer focus. Our Activity Centre Assistants are integral to this happening.
MARVELLOUS MEALTIMES
Offering schools 24-hour care means that we also supervise the children in the dining rooms for every meal. This will be a key area of your role, ensuring that all the children are happy, fed and entertained for the duration of the mealtime.
DORMITORY SUPERVISION
Whether employed as an Evening or All-Day Activity Centre Assistant you will be either supporting the children with their bedtime or morning routine, getting them settled down for the night or ready and raring for the day ahead.
WHAT YOUR WEEK LOOKS LIKE
As an Evening Activity Centre Assistant, you will work both Tuesday and Wednesdays as part of a team from early afternoon until 10.30pm.
An All-Day Activity Centre Assistant only works on Wednesdays and starts at 7.00am through to the evening.
Robinwood only operates during term time and with that our Activity Centre Assistants get a minimum of 15 weeks off in a year, predominantly around the school holidays.
WHO THRIVES HERE?
You don’t need a CV packed with outdoor certificates. We’re looking for grounded, proactive people who bring:
- Enthusiasm to Learn: A genuine desire to pick up new skills and develop.
- People Skills: The ability to connect naturally with children, teachers, and your colleagues.
- Resilience & Positivity: The energy to bring your best self to dynamic, active days.
- A Team Mindset: A willingness to muck in, support your team, and make a positive difference in children's lives.
Experience working or volunteering with groups of children is essential.
