Kids Programme Coordinator (Full-time)
Are you ready to create life-changing experiences for tomorrow's leaders?
We know there is someone out there with the call to impact New Zealand youth and has a desire to influence tomorrow's leaders.
Our ideal Kids Programme Coordinator values self-awareness, empathy and accepts every challenge with a growth mindset. We need a successful events coordinator with creativity and energy to lead the development and execution of our core children's holiday programmes.
If you have worked in a Christian camping organisation before or have experience in leading faith-based youth programmes and large events, you will appreciate the challenges and opportunities involved. As someone who listens, learns and adapts to each situation, you will quickly figure out how to enhance our existing programme format for the benefit of our junior guests.
With a team of energetic youth to lead and support, there is much to do. Your powers of persuasion, delegation and organisation skills will be tested. Even with a clear plan, anything can happen. Your events team will come to rely on your calm and grounded approach to problem-solving and health & safety expertise to troubleshoot whatever comes up.
As a contributor to some of our major annual events such as HMRage and Elevate, you will be a clear communicator with a get stuff done approach to your task list. Successful event management is all about the team. You will be known for your initiative and support when working with others. All forms of communications will be a natural strength of your skillset, whether it be as the ‘face' of the event, preparing programme reports or building relationships with our guests, volunteers, and our wider community.
