Working alongside a Camp Manager, an Assistant Manager has specific responsibility for programme delivery – including activity sessions, whole camp warm‑ups and weekly events. The Assistant Manager is required to step in to plan and/or lead activities, supervise lunchtimes and model best practice to Red Tops. On site from 8 am to 5:30 pm, the Assistant Manager acts as a responsible first aider and is always on hand to speak with parents, staff or central office personnel. They work alongside the Camp Manager to ensure operating procedures and policies are correctly followed. The Assistant Manager sets the standard, ensures the team is prepped and ready to go, plans timetables, shares information and works with the coaching team on performance and development. They are 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.
