Growth Opportunity

Our company leads the field in the volume of client magic we create by holding an event in each clinic/service area every single day during school holidays. That’s hundreds of events, and we’re looking for a creative, experienced events professional to be one of our regional Events Specialists.

• Clinic events

• Professional sports games
• Fundraisers
• Entertainment
• Field trips and more
