Gym Floor Assistant - #1166231

Gym Floor Assistant

For people who genuinely love being around kids — in every moment of the class day.

About the Role

Do you love working with kids — not just when it's exciting, but in the quieter moments too? We're looking for a warm, patient Gym Floor Assistant who finds meaning in making every child feel comfortable, seen, and cared for throughout their time at the gym.

A big part of this role happens in the margins of class — managing the waiting area, accompanying children to the restroom, settling a nervous student before their session, or simply being a reassuring presence during transitions. When you are on the floor, you'll support coaches and help things run smoothly. In both settings, what matters most is a genuine connection with the kids in front of you.

No gymnastics experience is required. If you're someone who finds joy in those small, everyday moments with children — not just the big, energetic ones — this role is for you. For those interested, there is also a natural pathway into our recreational coaching team over time.

What You'll Do

Be Present with Kids

· Supervise and engage with students in the waiting area before, during, and after sessions.

· Accompany children to the restroom or other areas as needed, making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

· Settle nervous or upset students with calm reassurance before and between sessions.

· Be a consistent, friendly face that children can rely on throughout their time at the gym.

Support Coaches on the Floor

· Assist coaches with class transitions, helping students move smoothly between activities.

· Help guide students during warm-ups, drills, and rotations.

· Step in immediately if a student needs support or has a concern during a session.

Keep Kids Safe

· Monitor students at all times — in the waiting area and on the floor.

· Respond promptly to minor incidents, escalating to coaches or the back office when necessary.

· Reinforce gym safety rules in a calm, age-appropriate way.

Keep Things Running

· Help set up and tidy equipment before, during, and after classes.

· Communicate clearly with coaches and staff throughout each session.

What We're Looking For

· A genuine love of working with kids in all moments — not just the exciting ones.

· Warm, patient, and calm — especially with anxious or unsettled children.

· Attentive and switched on, even during quieter stretches like waiting area supervision.

· Comfortable moving around the gym floor when needed.

· Strong, natural communication with children, coaches, and parents.
