  • Oversee birthday parties, private events, open play sessions, and special events.
  • Ensure party spaces are prepared before guests arrive.
  • Coordinate with party hosts and other staff.
  • Make sure party timelines are followed.
  • Confirm that included party items and services are properly provided.

  • Maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout the facility.
  • Ensure staff follow cleaning and sanitizing procedures.
  • Regularly inspect play areas for safety concerns.
  • Make sure playground rules are consistently enforced.
  • Respond appropriately to incidents, injuries, or emergencies.
  • Complete incident documentation when necessary.
Business & Administrative Support

  • Monitor supplies and notify ownership when items need to be reordered.
  • Assist with basic inventory management.
  • Accurately handle payments and point-of-sale transactions.
  • Communicate important information from each shift to ownership.
  • Help identify ways to improve operations, customer experience, and staff efficiency.
Qualifications
  • Previous management, supervisory, hospitality, recreation, childcare, retail, or customer-service experience preferred.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • Dependable, responsible, and punctual.
  • Comfortable supervising employees and addressing performance concerns.
  • Excellent customer-service and problem-solving skills.
  • Able to remain professional and calm in a busy environment.
  • Comfortable working around young children and families.
  • Able to multitask and make decisions independently.
