Children's Dance, Fitness & Movement Instructor (Contractor)
School Hours | Mon-Thu | Baldivis to Mandurah area
Build your own school-hours business with Happy Feet Fitness!
Imagine getting paid to sing, dance, tell stories, perform magic and inspire young children through movement every day.
Happy Feet Fitness is looking for an enthusiastic, energetic and business-minded person to join our Perth South team as an independent contractor, delivering our award-winning, play-based movement program to babies, toddlers and preschoolers in early childhood education and care centres.
You'll help children build confidence, coordination and a lifelong love of movement while creating a rewarding and flexible career around your lifestyle.
What You'll Be Doing
Every day is different! You'll visit early childhood centres during school hours to deliver fun, high-energy 30-minute classes using:
- Music, movement and dance
- Magic, puppets and exciting props
- Imaginative storytelling and adventures
- Games, fitness and fundamental movement skills
- Play-based learning that supports children's development
One class might involve exploring outer space, while the next takes children on a dinosaur adventure or an under-the-sea expedition. If you enjoy performing, using your imagination and making children laugh, you'll love this role.
About the Opportunity
This is an exciting growth opportunity in the Rockingham/Mandurah area, with the advantage of taking over a handful of existing classes from an experienced Happy Feet Instructor while working alongside our Perth South Manager to grow your own regular schedule.
You'll initially take over classes in Baldivis, Meadow Springs, Wannanup, and Erskine, with further opportunities to build your timetable across the surrounding area.
We already have new centre enquiries, existing relationships and further growth opportunities in the area, giving you a great foundation to build from.
You'll work closely with our experienced Manager to develop relationships with early childhood centres and grow towards a regular schedule of 15+ weekly classes across 4–5 weekdays during school hours.
Business development and relationship building is a core part of the role, so please be aware that this is not simply a teaching position. You'll be building your own business and actively contributing to its growth, with support from your manager and the Happy Feet team.
Availability
To take over the existing classes and make the most of the current growth opportunities, you'll need to be available Mondays to Thursdays during school hours.
All classes are delivered during school hours, with no evenings or weekends required.
Income
As an independent contractor, you'll operate your own Happy Feet Fitness business under license.
- Earn between $50 and $200 per 30-minute class delivered (after licensing fees)!
- Grow your income as your regular timetable grows
- Receive full training, mentoring and ongoing support
As with any contractor opportunity, your income has the potential to grow as you establish and deliver more regular classes.
This Role Could Be Perfect If You...
- Love working with babies, toddlers and preschool-aged children
- Have an energetic, confident and engaging personality
- Enjoy performing, teaching or presenting to groups of children
- Enjoy meeting new people and building strong relationships
- Are organised, reliable and self-motivated
- Have a business mindset and enjoy creating opportunities
- Are excited by the opportunity to build and grow your own business
Why Happy Feet?
For almost 20 years, Happy Feet Fitness has been bringing movement, music and smiles to children across Australia.
When you join Happy Feet, you're in business for yourself - but never by yourself. We'll provide comprehensive training, proven class programs, ongoing mentoring and the support you need to confidently build your own successful school-hours business.
You'll also have the support of an experienced local manager who will work with you to identify growth opportunities, connect with centres and develop your timetable.
If you're looking for a rewarding opportunity that combines performance, education, movement and entrepreneurship, we'd love to hear from you.
