Additional opportunities and hours may be available for Neighbourhood Club Program Leaders interested in working as a morning Before & After School Program Leader (PT or casual) across multiple Club locations. Throughout the year, there may also be opportunities to join our Summer Camp Programs or Early Learning Centres in full-time or part-time roles.

Shifts are not scheduled on school holidays, breaks, or professional development days.
