Our core values are Transparency, Positivity, Initiative, Community, Passion, Learning and Ownership and we are seeking people who are aligned to these values and who can demonstrate them in the work that they do.

Our operation covers over 70+ schools (and growing) and we are always seeking like minded people to join our incredible team of 200+ part-time Community Connectors, the amazing people who open and close our schools whilst ensuring our customers receive great service and have all the help they need during their bookings.
