Advisory Group Member (Volunteer position)

This is a voluntary role to support CocoRio at a pivotal time in their growth journey. The startup is in the process of scaling and incorporating technology into its recruitment process.

At CocoRio, we are a young team of eager professionals who aim to equip children with enriching multidisciplinary creative knowledge, whilst nurturing a community of guilt- free working parents who know their children are engaging in meaningful activities while they are away or busy. We are the number one creative child care provider, creating a rewarding experience for both families and children.

This volunteering role is set to take a few hours a month and be fully flexible, aside from one meeting per month (can be fully remote).

We are particularly looking for pedagogy and education experts as well as creative professionals with experience in working with children with the following backgrounds:

-Music

-Sport/Dance

-Art

-Theatre

The scope of this volunteering project is to identify key skills required by CocoRio creatives and devise appropriate questions to automate the recruitment process going forward to hire for scale as well as develop CocoRio’s Learning Journey.

The candidate will gain experience working with a fast growing startup and be involved in its growth and access its network of creatives.

CocoRio’s Values

Nurturing Future Generations

Children and their healthy development are at the forefront of what we do. With the amazing skills of our creatives, we’re passionate about bringing tailored creative activities to the home, aiding children’s overall wellbeing and healthy development.

Creatively Sustainable and Diverse

We encourage our creatives to explore the recycling bin, the pantry and the park and use existing materials creatively before purchasing new materials. We LOVE upcycling! Our creatives also come from all over the world and have different creative expertises, child care experience, backgrounds and speak different languages. And we value each of their UNIQUE stories. The diversity in our books allows us to make the perfect family-creative match.

Competent, Consistent and Flexible

Families know what to expect when they book with CocoRio because the quality of service is high and consistent as all creative sitters are fully vetted and trained by us and our customer support team is always on hand to serve families. We exist to support both busy parents and creatives and being flexible where possible for both is key.

Honest and Helpful

Families and creatives know we’ve got their backs. They trust us because they know we’ll go over and beyond to help, whatever the situation, whilst also remaining true and honest in our part to play in the given situation.
