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. While not assigned to a specific group, the Assistant Manager must lead activities, supervise lunchtimes, and model best practices for less experienced Red Tops. They act as a responsible first aider and are available to communicate with parents, staff, or central office, working with the Site Manager to ensure procedures 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.
