About the Role
Welcome to the heart of Kido, where passion, ambition, and people are at the core of everything we do!

You will create a nurturing environment supporting a safe, engaging space where children can learn and thrive. You will be a consistent key person, offering comfort, stability, and strong relationships for your key children.
