* Liaise with the Camp Manager and work as a team to continuously promote the welfare of the children in your care.
* Supervise and engage with the children outside of activity times.
* Ensure the provision of childcare is always of a high quality to meet the needs of individual children from differing backgrounds and stages of development.
* Live up to the Ultimate Activity Camp promise of ‘Inspiring Children Every Day’ and behave in a manner that reflects the expectations of the company throughout your employment.
* Show high levels of energy, enthusiasm and professionalism, acting as a suitable role model for the children.
* Ensure all policies and procedures on camp are adhered to, including all health and safety and safeguarding procedures.
* Other ad-hoc duties (e.g., cleaning, equipment maintenance/ordering etc).
Qualifications and Experience
* Educated to a minimum of Level 3 in Early Years/Childcare or Primary Education, with significant experience working with 4- and 5-year-olds.
* Experience of working with children and delivering activities, able to tailor the delivery and structure of a session according to age and ability.
* Be enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about developing children through play and activity.
* Good organisation and communication skills, confident in leading a group of children.
