Overview of role: 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, run activities, take students on trips and excursions, and ensure that our students have a memorable, fun, and safe time.

Activity Leaders need to be flexible and willing to undertake a variety of tasks, as directed. On weekdays, students usually 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.

The working week is 48 hours over 6 days. Shifts are split into morning, afternoon, and evening and will include working every Saturday and Sunday. You have one full weekday off per week. 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 allow.

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 practised. Activity Leaders are required to complete a paid, online induction prior to their contract start, including online Safeguarding and online Prevent training.

In each centre, we run a busy, varied, and exciting activity programme, aimed specifically at teenagers. An important aspect of the activity programme is for students to learn about the local history and culture of the area in which they are staying and the UK in general. It is a key part of the Activity Leader’s duties to encourage use of English as much as possible while on excursions and activities with students.

In addition to excursions and local visits, we also deliver a wide range of sports and other onsite activities, including Drama workshops led by the Drama Activity Leader and supported by Activity Leaders.
