Working alongside the Camp Manager and leading a team of coaching staff, you'll be responsible for delivering a high-quality, school holiday Kings Camps experience. This includes ensuring children aged 5 to 17 are safe, active, having fun, and learning together.
The Assistant Manager specifically handles programme delivery—such as activity sessions, warm-ups, and weekly events. While not assigned to a specific group, the Assistant Manager may lead activities, supervise lunchtimes, and model best practices to less experienced Red Tops. They also act as a responsible first aider and are available to speak with parents, staff, or central office personnel, working with the Site Manager to ensure procedures and policies are followed.
Child safety is our top priority; you'll supervise children during breaks, participate in swimming sessions, oversee equipment use, and record incidents promptly. Implementing behaviour management policies and maintaining health and safety standards are also key responsibilities.
We ideally seek candidates available for the full season (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5:30 pm), with a minimum commitment of three consecutive weeks during summer.
* At least 12 months' experience working with children and young people
* 3+ months' experience in a management or leadership role
* Childcare, sports, or teaching-related degree or qualification
* Knowledge of Child Protection, Safeguarding, and Health & Safety
