Summary of Position

Our Early Years Leader oversees the delivery of the Early Years programme on camp, fostering an exciting, enjoyable and nurturing environment. As well as overseeing the setting, you will get stuck in and deliver structured sports, arts and crafts activities and games to the Early Years children enrolled on camp– our Ultimate Activity Juniors. The activities offered will follow EYFS requirements for learning and development, with the emphasis being on participation and quality.

With support and direction from the Camp Manager you will be the key contact for the 4- and 5-year-olds on camp, taking a lead in maintaining their welfare and providing high quality care. Working with the Camp Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring all Ofsted requirements are met and be the primary point of contact for parents of our Juniors.

Our Early Years settings work within a ratio of 1:8, which means you could be working by yourself or within a team. It is the duty of the Early Years Leader to coordinate, direct and support the rest of the Early Years team to ensure high quality childcare is delivered at all times.

  • As the registered person, ensure Ofsted requirements are always met, liaising directly with an inspector in the event of an inspection.
  • Be the main point of contact for the parents and guardians of the Juniors. This includes feeding back any observations or issues to parents.
  • Manage some administrative duties for the Juniors (e.g., sign-in/out, registration etc).
  • Liaise with the Camp Manager and work as a team to continuously promote the welfare of the children in your care.
  • Supervise and engage with the children outside of activity times.
  • Ensure the provision of childcare is always of a high quality to meet the needs of individual children from differing backgrounds and stages of development.
  • Live up to the Ultimate Activity Camp promise of ‘Inspiring Children Every Day’ and behave in a manner that reflects the expectations of the company throughout your employment.
  • Show high levels of energy, enthusiasm and professionalism, acting as a suitable role model for the children.
  • Ensure all policies and procedures on camp are adhered to by yourself and the children in your care, including all health and safety, and safeguarding procedures.
  • Other ad-hoc duties (e.g., cleaning, equipment maintenance/ordering etc).
