These are people who have heaps of energy and patience to deal directly with kids at birthday parties and other events. They utilize activities including face painting, games, balloon modeling and jumping castles to keep the kids active and happy. Gecko workers can attend a party of 10 kids just by themselves right through to major corporate events involving 10 or more gecko workers at the event. We pay good rates plus a travel allowance. Ideally would suit teaching or childcare students, people with experience dealing with younger kids either through family connections or other experiences or could be good for Mums wanting to earn extra cash on the weekends when Dad/others can look after the kids. Training sessions for new gecko workers are offered twice a year in March and August and are done over a period of 4 weekends. During this time on the job training can also commence.

The major criteria to be eligible for one of these positions are:

1. Must be available most weekends
2. Must have bright outgoing personality
3. Must be enthusiastic & energetic
4. Must be willing to put time into learning the skills required
5. Own transport is preferable as jobs can be anywhere across Canberra – public transport is not a suitable option
6. Love being outdoors in varying weather conditions
7. Must be reliable and self reliant
8. Can work on your own and as part of a team
9. Are willing to put in that extra effort required to deliver an exceptional service to our customers

If you can organise your time well, are reliable and conscientious, can stay on task without supervision and love being around children and would like to learn some new skills then you might be who we are looking for.

Please email us at info@geckogang.com.au stating that you are interested in the “Gecko Worker” position and addressing the above listed criteria. We will then send you an application form which you can fill out and return. Closer to the next training session (in the few weeks prior) we will call up eligible applicants to come in for an interview.
