Assistant Club Manager – Early Childhood Specialist

Why You’ll Love Working at Icon Gymsports At Icon, we want our team to love coming to work just as much as our students do. We are a passionate, tight-knit club in Hornsby with a strong team, and we operate as a supportive community where your ideas actually matter.

Here is what you get when you join us:

• A Refreshing ECE Career Shift: Move away from endless paperwork and room-bound routines into a dynamic, active environment centered around physical literacy and fun.
• True Support & Growth: Enjoy paid regular catch-ups with your direct report, ongoing paid training during work hours, and direct access to the business owner whenever you need support.
• Perks That Count: Staff and family discounts, maternity leave and regular, all-expenses-paid staff socials.
• Work-Life Balance: Dedicated off-floor admin time, collaborative scheduling, and options for condensed hours to suit your lifestyle.

About the Role

Combine your passion for early childhood development with active team leadership! In this role, you will lead our early years movement programs, design age-appropriate physical literacy sessions, and nurture our team of junior coaches to help them perform at their absolute best.

While gymnastics experience is a great bonus, it is strictly not essential—we teach all the technical skills. Your background in early learning, natural ability to mentor people, and confidence connecting with parents are what make you the right fit.

Work Schedule

• Type: Full-Time or Part-Time (open to finding the right fit for the right person). Full Time hours can be condensed to 4 days, if that is your preference
• Days: Includes Saturdays as a key operational day, with fixed mid-week day off (either Tuesday or Thursday).

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Early Years Classes: Run energetic, play-based movement sessions for our Under 5s, Open Kindy Gym, and Preschool programs.
• Mentor Floor Coaches: Lead afternoon shifts, guiding junior coaches in real time to build their confidence and coaching skills.
• Parent Engagement: Serve as the friendly, go-to face on the floor for parents and caregivers.

Off the Floor (Admin & Planning – 9.75 hrs/week)

• Program Design: Plan and refresh engaging, age-appropriate session plans for our Under 5s curriculum.
• Daily Operations: Manage rotation schedules, waitlists, and roster cover.
• Team & Community: Drive staff culture initiatives and create engaging community posts for our Facebook page.

What We Are Looking For

• A background in Early Childhood Education (Diploma, Degree, or equivalent experience with 0–5-year-olds).
• OR Experience with gymnastics; an advanced coach with management experience
• A natural coach and mentor who enjoys lifting others up with encouraging, constructive feedback.
• Clear, warm communication skills with both kids and parents.
• Reliability and readiness to make Saturdays a core part of your week.
