Weekend Activities Coordinator
Permanent Post | Term Time Only | Salary £13.76 per hour
The weekend activities program at the Leys School is open to all boarding pupils and takes full advantage of the intellectual and artistic opportunities in Cambridge. As a team, we offer a range of activities, both in-house and excursions, to facilitate student growth in confidence, connection to fellow boarders and – most importantly – have a great time on the weekends here with us at The Leys School.
The Weekend Activities Coordinator’s role is to plan and oversee these activities with support when needed from other staff.
There are two main types of activities that take place at the weekend – informal events such as watching a movie or running a Wii dance competition, and more demanding off-site visits and trips. The Weekend Activities Coordinator will work with boarding house staff to design a low impact programme for Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons and will work with the Deputy Head (Pastoral) to support more complex off-site trips. It is an expectation that the Weekend Activities Coordinator will attend these off-site trips.
We anticipate this role will require a commitment of equivalent to 5 hours every other week during term time only.
