JOINING RINKA
A word from the CEO
Sarah Gillespie
Hi, I’m Sarah, founder of RINKA, and I’m delighted you’re interested in working with us.
Working with children is one of the most rewarding jobs there is. No two classes are the same because no two children are the same. You get to know their personalities, hear their stories, celebrate their progress and, most importantly, help them build a positive relationship with movement that can last a lifetime.
At RINKA, we’re passionate about creating places where children can move, learn, grow in confidence and feel like they belong.
When you join RINKA, you become part of a team that genuinely cares about the work we do and the children we do it for.
If that sounds like the kind of work you’d love to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.
TWO WAYS TO JOIN RINKA
There’s more than one way to become part of RINKA. Choose the path that best matches what you’re looking for.
WORK FOR RINKA
Join our team as a RINKA employee and deliver classes, camps, school programmes and parties in your area.
You teach. We take care of the business.
OWN A RINKA FRANCHISE
Build your own RINKA business in your local area, with our established brand, programmes, training and ongoing support behind you.
You build the business. We give you the framework.
IS RINKA RIGHT FOR YOU?
Whichever path you choose, there are some qualities we look for in everyone who represents RINKA.
Then underneath:
✓ You genuinely enjoy working with children
✓ You’re positive, energetic and encouraging
✓ You’re reliable, organised and professional
✓ You’re confident communicating with children and parents
✓ You’re willing to learn and develop
✓ You understand that every child is different and deserves to feel welcome and included
Experience in teaching, coaching, childcare, fitness, sport or dance is an advantage, but just as important to us is finding the right people to represent RINKA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT JOINING RINKA AS AN INSTRUCTOR
Do I need experience working with children?
Experience in teaching, coaching, childcare, fitness, sport or dance is helpful, but it isn’t the only thing we look for. Your personality, reliability, willingness to learn and ability to connect with children are just as important. Training and support are provided depending on the pathway you choose.
What is the difference between working for RINKA or becoming a franchisee?
As a RINKA employee, you work as part of our team delivering RINKA programmes without the responsibility of running the business.
As a RINKA franchisee, you operate your own RINKA business, building classes and opportunities in your area with the RINKA brand, programmes, training and support behind you.
I’m not sure which option is right for me. What should I do?
Start by exploring both opportunities. If you want to focus on teaching children without running a business, working for RINKA is likely to be the better fit. If you’re looking to build something of your own and are excited by the business side as well as teaching, explore our franchise opportunity.
