KIDS LOVE 2 PARTY – PARTY ASSISTANT (TRAINING ROLE)
£15.00 PER HOUR + PAID SET UP TIME
Do you love working with children? Are you full of energy, confidence and enthusiasm?
Kids Love 2 Party are looking for Children's Party Assistants to join our growing team across Manchester, Cheshire and surrounding areas.
This is a training role and is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to gain experience in children's entertainment. Whether you currently work in childcare, are studying performing arts, childcare or education, or simply enjoy working with children, we would love to hear from you.
You do not need previous entertainment experience as full training will be provided. What we are looking for is a positive attitude, bundles of energy and a willingness to get involved.
No two events are ever the same. One weekend you may be helping at a birthday party, the next you could be supporting at a festival, family fun day, nursery session, school workshop or corporate event.
You will work alongside experienced Lead Entertainers and Party Assistants, learning valuable skills whilst helping to create magical memories for children and families.
OUR APPROACH
At Kids Love 2 Party, we do not impersonate or imitate copyrighted characters.
Instead, our entertainers use creativity, storytelling, drama, movement and imagination to bring events to life. We encourage our team and help them to develop their own performance style, build confidence and engage children through interactive experiences.
This role is ideal for anyone who enjoys performing, acting, storytelling, leading activities and thinking creatively.
