We're recruiting for our new afterschool service in Dunmanway opening January 2027! Be part of our founding family!
We're on the search for the perfect sports assistant to complement and support our new team. Working alongside our deputy manager and in a team of three or four to begin with, you will ensure we provide a great mix of sports for our children to enjoy each afternoon.
We're looking for a team to grow with us on this journey. Starting with afterschool care, we will be looking to expand our offering locally to include before school and holiday care, and have plans in place to open a preschool later in 2027.
