Overview
Working alongside a Camp Manager, an Assistant Manager has specific responsibility for programme delivery — including activity sessions, whole camp warm‑ups and weekly events. While they aren’t assigned a specific group of children, the Assistant Manager is required to step in to plan and/or lead activities, supervise lunchtimes and model best practice to Red Tops. Onsite from 8am to 5:30pm, the Assistant Manager acts as a responsible first aider and is always on hand to speak with parents, staff or central office personnel, working alongside the Camp Manager to ensure operating procedures and policies are correctly followed. Assistant Managers set the standard and ensure the team are prepped and ready to go, planning timetables, information sharing and working with the coaching team on their own performance and development. They’re also actively involved in the tone and culture of camp, interacting with children, injecting energy, fun and passion into the programme and showcasing the Kings Factor to all other camps in the region.
