As a market leader in the cruise industry, we operate spectacular ships all over the world. Do something different in 2017, and join us in our youth team.

Delivering an exciting range of onboard activities tailored for passengers aged from 0-17, you will visit different places, explore new worlds and gain experiences that stay with you for a lifetime.

We are currently recruiting seasonal youth staff to join us for the Summer 2017, so please be aware that you will need to be available over these periods.
Final Interviews will be held in Liverpool on Tuesday 18th, Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th April 2017

The role:

We’re responsible for safeguarding and entertaining children and young people in secure, market-leading youth facilities. From breakfast clubs to night nursery, our talented youth teams deliver a wide range of first class child care and onboard activities, including themed sessions, game shows, arts, crafts, youth DJs, football coaching, face painting and more. With safety responsibilities in emergency situations and working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for the length of your contract onboard, it’ll be a challenge — but one you will thrive on as you create memorable holiday experiences.

We’re looking for resilient, passionate and inspiring youth staff to be champions of safeguarding in our trusted teams and be role models to our customers. We pride ourselves on having worked with the NSPCC on the safeguarding aspects of our recruitment process to promote the safety and well-being of child passengers. That means you will also need a minimum 1 year’s childcare experience and a qualification relevant to working with children at Level 3 or above. Preferably, you'll also have a criminal record check dated within the last 3 months, which was carried out whilst working in a childcare environment or you would be willing to undergo an enhanced criminal record and barred list check.

We are looking to hear from experienced qualified childcare practioners or qualified teachers looking to change their career. You will also need to have experience with children aged between 0-17 years in a Pre School/Primary/Secondary or Nursery setting.

In return we offer state of the art youth facilities, a collaborative and fun working environment, travel to some of the most beautiful countries in the world and fantastic rates of pay.
If you’re a team player with the drive to develop your career with a world-leading ship’s company that comprises the prestigious P&O Cruises and Cunard Line brands, join us on our journey.
