An opportunity to lead the world-renowned Gymboree Play & Music classes who are the global leaders in early childhood education, joining a warm and friendly team in Sevenoaks.
Class leaders deliver the Gymboree Play & Music syllabus, teaching children aged newborn to 5 years alongside their carers in our bright, colourful, safe playroom with purpose-built equipment, props, songs and activities. Full training on-site will be provided in order to deliver our classes to our high standards.
Applicants should be outgoing, friendly and comfortable being the focus of the room. A performing arts background and pleasant singing voice is beneficial but not essential.
When not teaching, class leaders undertake administrative duties liaising with members, enquiries and helping run the business on a day-to-day basis. Experience using Excel, Word and email is essential and training will be provided on our class management software. Applicants should also be comfortable “selling” the Gymboree Play & Music brand to help recruit new members.
Cleaning is an essential part of the role as we work together to keep the site and props clean, sanitary and Covid safe for children and adults in order to provide a safe play space for everyone.
There is also an element of heavy lifting involved as our equipment is moved around on a regular basis; in class, for cleaning and changing around the set-ups fortnightly. Applicants should be physically capable of undertaking such tasks.
Current hours available are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays 9am-5pm (30 hours). On full days, a 30-minute unpaid lunchbreak will be taken. Training is required for the role, so an quick start date is preferred if the right candidate is found in time.
Applicants should be prepared to work weekends (minimum 1 day per month) to deliver birthday parties both on-site and at external venues. A full, clean driving licence and your own vehicle is preferred.

Both of my children (3.5 years and 11 months) go to Gymboree Play & Music and love it. My toddler goes to their drop-off Lego class which she raves about. It's very creative, working not only on Lego skills but also painting, drawing etc. My infant son loves his Gymboree Play & Music Crawlers class - particularly loves crawling all over their props, through the tunnels, etc. Great way to get the infant crawling over obstacles! Gymboree Play & Music is part of our weekly schedule for both kids and we look forward to participating every week. Invaluable!
Gymboree Play & Music was a lovely and positive experience for my son Leo. We started when he was 9 months and he is now 3 years old, I wish we had started sooner.
He loves the songs (which is part of our daily singing at home), the freedom to explore and he was happy there. He looks forward to class every week and once class is over he will tell everyone about Gymbo and what he did.
For me, I liked that it taught him how to get down safely from a height, how to learn to use his body, and touching on different topics every 2 weeks. It gave me confidence in other environments to trust that he has the ability that he learned from Gymboree Play & Music and to trust him.
I’ve been taking both my newborn and toddler to Gymboree Play & Music for a couple of months now and both boys are really loving the classes and open gym sessions. It’s a great way to meet other mums, entertain toddlers at witching hour(!) and get ideas for sensory play with babies. Sophie and Cat are fantastic and have so much energy and loads of different ideas for the classes, plus make sure the activities it’s help children meet their development milestones as well. Highly recommend this if you’re thinking about joining!! Thanks so much Sophie, Cat and the wider team :-)
