A leader, a grafter, and a holiday fun maker! This sums up our Children’s Club Team. In conjunction with your Children’s Club Manager, you will lead your team from the front, and you'll never be afraid to get stuck in.

Together, you'll be the driving force behind the team. You'll support every team member to ensure everyone reaches their full potential.

The kids' club team is loud and proud and is one of the biggest teams in our resorts. These teams combine a whole host of different personalities.

It's all Go-Go-Go! The kids are full of energy, and so is our kid's club programme. You will spend a lot of time jumping in and out of the pool or the sea, so you will need to be confident in the water.

You'll be able to think on your feet and take on whatever gets thrown your way. Usually, this is paint, chocolate, glitter, or all of it simultaneously!

Cool, Calm and Collected! Our Children's clubs make Neilson holidays extra special. Being organised is critical to ensuring our clubs remain at the top of their game.

We are looking for people who love working with kids of all ages. Working on the Kid's Club Team is a full-on role. You'll need bags of energy, but if you've got what it takes, you'll enjoy an incredible summer in the sunshine, ensuring our younger guests have the best holiday ever.

Our Kids Club team organise and supervises a varied timetable of stimulating, safe, fun activities to keep our kids entertained in all weather.

Working for Neilson is more than a job; it's a lifestyle, and you'll be a Superhero to the children (and their parents) with enthusiasm, professionalism, and friendly charm.

Spend the summer season based in one of our beautiful beach club resorts, where it's all about sharing your passion for the activities you love. You'll be working hard, but the work is fun, and there's always plenty of time to play.

We're looking for friendly, energetic, and approachable people who can build rapport with ease. Individuals who can instil confidence that every element of a Neilson holiday is delivered by a team who cares.

Please note: All Neilson Active staff are DBS-checked.
