Every day looks a little different...
One minute you're helping build the world's greatest Lego city.
The next you're refereeing a football match, leading an arts and crafts session, baking with children, or simply being the trusted adult who makes a child feel safe, listened to and valued.
At MACS, we don't just provide childcare—we create places where children laugh, learn, make friends and grow in confidence.
We're looking for kind, energetic and enthusiastic people to join our #MACSFamily.

✔ Love working with children
✔ Enjoy being active and creative
✔ Can turn everyday moments into memorable experiences
✔ Believe every child deserves to feel included
✔ Are reliable, caring and ready to make a difference
Experience is helpful—but personality, enthusiasm and kindness matter just as much
What you'll be doing
No two days are ever the same.
You'll:
Plan and lead exciting activities
Encourage outdoor play and active games
Prepare healthy snacks
Support children's learning and independence
Build positive relationships with children and families
Keep children safe through excellent care and safeguarding
Help create an environment where every child feels they belong
Why join MACS?

More than childcare...
This is a role where you'll help children discover new interests, develop confidence, make friendships and create memories they'll remember.
