Support Assistant - Maes y Nant
Would you like to work with an award-winning organisation? How about in an award-winning organisation that guarantees weekends off and a minimum 12 weeks holiday a year?
Maes y Nant Children’s Activity Centre near Wrexham is looking for 2 Support Assistants to work around 8 hours every Wednesday during term time only.
The Role:
The role involves helping get the children up and ready for their day at the activity centre, meal covers and session support, including Zip Wire and Raft Building assist. Training will be provided.
Some previous work with children is useful, as well as excellent customer care skills and the ability to be positive, professional and supportive of others at all times. We take safeguarding very seriously and the successful applicants will need to complete an enhanced DBS check.
The Centre:
Set in the beautiful Welsh countryside just outside of Wrexham, the original building dates back to the late Victorian era when it was built as a private house in around 1870.
Its name Maes-y-Nant when translated means ‘house by a stream’. Although the stream remains, the old owners would struggle to recognise it now as the site has been transformed with purpose-built facilities to provide an amazing Robinwood experience.
