🎨✨ WANT TO SEE WHAT WE’VE BEEN CREATING AT HOLIDAY CLUB? ✨🎨

Did you know that our Holiday Club includes lots of arts, crafts and creative activities too?

We’ve been VERY busy little creators! 🥰

🌿 Building rafts using sticks, leaves and natural materials
🦋 Making butterflies that actually move when we blow through a straw
🐠 Creating sea creatures with moving mouths
🍉 Making our own watermelon fans
🌳 Creating pictures using sticks, leaves and things we’ve found in nature
✂️ And lots more making, building, designing and experimenting!

But there’s much more going on than just having fun…

Activities like these help children develop:

✨ Creativity & imagination
🧠 Problem-solving and thinking skills
🤏 Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
💡 Curiosity and experimentation
🌈 Confidence in their own ideas
🤝 Communication and working together
❤️ Patience, concentration and resilience

We love giving children the freedom to create something themselves, try things out and be proud of what they’ve made.

And the best bit?

They’re having so much fun, they don’t even realise how much they’re learning!

Just a little glimpse of what we get up to at Ready Steady Swim Holiday Club! 🏊‍♀️🎨🌿✨

I’m working on a really exciting new project launching locally soon and I’m looking for some an amazing team of people who can get involved from the beginning!

For our creative roles, I’m looking for people who:

🎨 Are confident and genuinely passionate about art/painting
✨ Can take a piece of artwork and break it down into simple, easy-to-follow steps
🖌️ Have their own creative flair and ideas
🗣️ Are confident, warm and comfortable leading a group
💡 Can make creativity feel accessible and fun — even for complete beginners
🥂 Have great energy and understand that the experience and atmosphere is just as important as the finished artwork

You absolutely DO NOT need to be an art teacher. You could be an artist, art student/graduate, illustrator, designer, creative freelancer or simply someone incredibly creative!

I’m also looking for event assistants/hosts who are outgoing, organised, reliable and great with people. You don’t need to be artistic for these roles, I’m looking for people who can help create a brilliant atmosphere, welcome guests, help with setup and generally make everything run beautifully.

These will be paid, flexible roles, initially around events/evenings and weekends.

📍 Otley / Guiseley / Ilkley / Leeds & surrounding areas

If you’re interested, drop me a message telling me a little bit about yourself and which side you’re interested in. If you’re applying for a creative role, I’d love to see a few examples of your work too.

Or if you’re reading this thinking “I know EXACTLY who would be perfect for this” - please tag them or send this their way! 🫶🏽✨💘 🪩

I’ll reveal more about what we’re creating very soon… 👀✨
