  • Plan and deliver engaging activities that cater to the interests and abilities of the children in your group.
  • Encourage maximum participation and inclusion, adhering to OFSTED guidelines.

  • Attend Induction Training Day (this will most likely take place within the 7-day period before your camp opens).
  • Assist with pack up at the end of camp.

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Ensure the company fulfils all its Health and Safety obligations by carefully following instructions and showing a proactive and diligent approach to all safety issues.
  • Deliver activities that are appropriate for the children in your care, within the scope of your qualifications, skills, and knowledge.
  • Encourage children to participate in new activities and ensure the activity programme is as directed on the timetable.
  • Ensure children under your supervision behave in a safe manner, always knowing their whereabouts, respecting them as individuals, and communicating with them daily about codes of behaviour.
  • Carefully follow all camp systems, including registration and collection procedures, Health and Safety systems, and all guidelines on good practice in child welfare, while supporting your colleagues to do the same.
  • Be a positive role model to the children in your care by promoting a healthy lifestyle, good hygiene precautions, and always considering their welfare.
  • Report any concerns regarding Child Protection to your Senior Team or a Designated Person at the Central Office.
  • Make reasonable adjustments to accommodate and understand the requirements of children in your group who may have additional needs (including dietary needs) or a medical condition.
  • Pending staff availability, you may be required to deliver Skills Builder sessions.
  • All staff may be required to support a swimming session – you'll need to bring swimwear and a spare t-shirt will be available at camp.
  • The above is not an exhaustive list of duties, and you will be expected to perform different tasks as necessitated by your changing role within the organisation and the overall business objectives of the organisation.

Barracudas are committed to equal opportunities in employment and this post does require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account. Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
