Job description

Activity Leaders are at the core of our activities programme. The role requires enthusiastic, personable and energetic individuals to help organise and prepare the social programme (individual to each centre), run activities, take students on trips and excursions and ensure that our students have a memorable, fun and safe time.

On weekdays students have classes in either the morning or afternoon. The rest of the time is spent with Activity Leaders on local visits, excursions or on‑site activities. It is a busy programme and there is always something to do, so the ideal Activity Leader is well‑organised, with a can‑do attitude and is always happy to get involved.

The working week is 42 hours over 6 days. Shifts are split into morning, afternoon and evening and will include working weekends. Due to the nature of Summer School there may be times when it could be necessary to work additional hours one week, in which case time off in lieu will be given when the needs of the centre allows.

We encourage students to speak English at all times whilst on activities and excursions and Activity Leaders are expected to engage with all students and ensure that English is being practiced. We will help to prepare you for the role during the Activity Leader Induction Weekend which includes First Aid training. Activity Leaders also complete online Safeguarding and online Prevent training.
