What You’ll Do

• Lead children between 12 weeks and 12 years old through the activities included in the Edge Kids program.

• A positive, high-energy personality with a playful and encouraging style.
• The ability to connect well with children and earn parents’ trust.
• Comfort working with children from infants through pre-teens.
• A reliable, punctual, and hardworking approach to daily responsibilities.
• Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends.
• Strong group management skills and a willingness to continue learning and training.
• Must be able to pass a criminal background check.

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll be part of an active program that blends fitness, fun, and child development.
• The role includes training and ongoing development, even if this is not your long-term career path.
• The schedule is flexible enough to fit around other life commitments.
• You’ll spend your day moving, interacting, and creating a fun experience for kids.
