Love making children laugh? Characters N Co is growing, and we’re looking for friendly, energetic and reliable people to host children’s parties, discos, games, mascot appearances and family events across South Wales.

Each party lasts two hours, giving you a minimum payment of £60 per engagement, plus paid travel.

Previous entertainment experience is welcome but not essential—we’ll provide full training, music, equipment and ongoing support.

✅️ 18 years +
✅ Friendly, lively and confident
✅ Reliable and punctual
✅ Comfortable speaking to groups
✅ Great at engaging with children
✅ Available on Saturdays and Sundays
✅ Based in or able to travel around South Wales

Experience in dance, drama, performing, teaching, youth work, childcare or DJing would be useful, but it is not required.

This is flexible, self-employed work.

No CV is needed for the first step. Simply message the Characters N Co page with:

1. Your name and town
2. Your weekend availability
3. A few lines explaining why you would be great at entertaining children
4. Any relevant experience, if you have it
