Creative Coaches Wanted!

StarTime Studios | School Holiday Workshops | Australia Wide

Can you turn a room full of kids into a team of creators, performers and big thinkers? We’re looking for actors, artists, teachers and creative educators who know how to spark curiosity, build confidence and help children discover what they’re capable of.

At StarTime, the way you make children feel matters as much as what you teach. We love coaches who notice the child hanging back, make space for their ideas and help them find the confidence to join in.

If you bring warmth, imagination and the ability to lead a lively room, we’d love to hear from you.

The opportunity

Join our team delivering StarTime creative workshops at vacation care centres during the 2026/2027 school holidays, with opportunities for ongoing holiday work. You’ll work with children aged 5–12, guiding hands-on activities that encourage creativity, teamwork and problem-solving. Our workshops give children the chance to try something new, share their ideas and feel proud of what they create.

We provide the workshop content, resources and training. You bring the energy, care and creative leadership that make the experience memorable.

What makes a great StarTime coach?

You can capture a group’s attention, explain an activity clearly and keep children engaged. You’re equally comfortable celebrating a bold idea and gently encouraging a child who needs a little extra support.

You’ll be someone who

- Brings enthusiasm, patience and a genuine interest in working with children.
- Creates a welcoming environment where every child feels included.
- Uses positive workshop management to keep sessions safe, focused and fun.
- Thinks on their feet and adapts when an activity needs a different approach.
- Arrives prepared, stays organised and communicates reliably.
- Enjoys learning new skills and working alongside other creative people.

What you’ll need

- Availability during the 2026/2027 school holiday periods.




- Robust experience working with children and confidence supporting groups aged 5–12.
- The ability to engage positively with children and communicate clearly with your fellow coaches and centre staff.
- A current Blue Card, or willingness to obtain one before commencing work.
- An ABN, or willingness to obtain one.
- A current driver’s licence and access to a vehicle, as workshops take place across different centre locations.

Experience in the creative arts, performance or education is highly valued. We also welcome applicants with other relevant experience who can bring creativity and strong group leadership to our workshops.

Workshop details and remuneration

These are contractor opportunities, with the following rates:

- Head Coach: $100 per workshop.
- Assistant Coach: $72 per workshop.
- Junior / Trainee Coach: $37 per workshop.

Each workshop runs for two hours, with sessions scheduled between 10am and 3pm. You may be offered up to two workshops per day at different nearby venues. Standard travel is included in the workshop rate. Coaches must be willing to complete workshop training to prepare for the programs they’ll deliver.

Why join StarTime?

Since 2006, StarTime has been helping children build confidence through creativity, with programs spanning filmmaking, performing arts, creative technology and more. You’ll join a supportive team that values great coaching and provides practical resources to help you succeed. There may also be opportunities for ongoing school holiday and term work for coaches who show care, reliability and strong workshop delivery.

The best part? Watching a child realise, “I can do this.” And knowing you helped them get there.
