Roaming Senior Activity Instructor in Aylesbury

The role of Senior Activity Instructor is to deliver outstanding, structured sports sessions, arts and crafts and games to groups of children across our Ultimate Activity Camps, with emphasis on participation, structure, and development. You will also have a pastoral role, being a group leader and key contact for the group of children on camp. This is a roaming role and so you will not be assigned to one camp. Instead, the Roaming Senior Activity Instructor will be assigned a weekly route across camps within their local area but will have to react to any emergency changes at short notice. This is a Senior Role with successful candidates working across multiple programmes and roles. You may be required to support the Camp Manager in performing their duties, supporting new staff and liaising with the Head Office.
