Position Overview: Known as Red Tops, our Key Stage One (KS1) Coaches lead and bring to life fun activities for children aged 5 to 7. Each KS1 Coach is either assigned their own group of 8 similarly-aged children or will join another coach into a group of 16, supporting children in a range of activities, including (but not limited to) tennis, badminton, cricket, and swimming - with each session typically lasting between 30 - 60 minutes. Key Stage One Coaches will report to the Camp Manager and are encouraged to demonstrate 'Active Coaching' - providing high-energy, fun, and inclusive activity sessions that get every child active and having fun, regardless of their ability. Child safety is our number one priority, so you'll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, and promptly recording any incidents. You will implement behaviour management policies and uphold health and safety standards and procedures.
