Job Description
Working alongside the Camp Manager, 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 is responsible for programme delivery, including activity sessions, warm-ups, and weekly events.

You will act as a responsible first aider and be available to speak with parents, staff, or central office personnel. You will work alongside the Site Manager to ensure procedures and policies are followed correctly.
Child safety is our top priority. You’ll supervise children during breaks, participate in swimming sessions, oversee equipment use, record incidents promptly, implement behaviour management policies, and uphold health and safety standards.
Person Specification (Ideal, but with some flexibility)
* Availability for the full season (Monday to Friday, between 8 am and 5:30 pm), with a minimum of 3 consecutive weeks during summer.
* 12 months’ experience working with children and young people
* 3+ months' experience in management or leadership
* Childcare, sports, or teaching-related degree or qualification
* Knowledge of Child Protection, Safeguarding, and Health and Safety
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to motivate
* Organised, able to follow policies and procedures
* Vibrant, resilient, team player
* Flexible and adaptable
* Paediatric First Aid certification (training opportunities available)
