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 oversees programme delivery, including activity sessions, warm-ups, and weekly events. Although not assigned to a specific group, the Assistant Manager may lead activities, supervise lunchtimes, and model best practices to less experienced Red Tops. They act as a responsible first aider and communicate with parents, staff, or central office personnel, working closely with the Site Manager to ensure procedures and policies are followed.
Child safety is our top priority. You will supervise children during breaks, participate in swimming sessions, oversee equipment use, and record incidents promptly. You will also implement behaviour management policies and uphold health and safety standards.
