Purpose:

To manage a team of course tutors and camp participants at the residential camp and ensure a high-quality camp provision. This is a perfect opportunity for a recently graduated teacher with some experience already working in schools, or someone undertaking a PGCE or similar who already has experience in managing other staff professionally, to gain more experience in education and working with children, in a fun and exciting holiday camp environment. The role could also suit someone who has not worked in education but who nonetheless has considerable experience with children and in managing staff.

Key Requirements:

  • You must be available from 27 July to 23 August 2024.

You will generally receive time off between late afternoon / early evening every Friday and the following Sunday morning (except the initial training/setup weekend).

Primary duties:

  • Lead the staff and students at camp and ensure that campers benefit from and enjoy the courses
  • Oversee and maintain up-to-date, accurate & clear records
  • Lead meetings with staff to brief them on logistics, safeguarding, safety and other issues as required

  • Ensure all day campers are registered and signed in and out each day and to chase-up any late/no-show day campers, ensure reporting procedures are followed
  • Deal with parental queries via phone, email and in person
  • Visit courses regularly during the day and conduct lesson observations to ensure tutors are meeting expectations and courses are engaging for campers.
  • Oversee lunch-time, breaks and activity sessions
  • Be the primary first-aider, including maintaining the incident report log for accidents and the medication log
  • Oversee the final pack-up at camp with tutors to ensure that rooms are left clean and tidy and raise any issues, such as damage or breakages with the MD.

Supplementary Residential Duties:

  • Administer and oversee the arrival of residential campers and related issues
  • Run the ice-breaking activities during the first evening of camp
  • Administer and supervise the tutor group emails to parents
