Activity Leaders - Summer

Description

Work in a summer school this Summer.

Activity staff come in all shapes and sizes and with a variety of talents and skills. However, all have enthusiasm, energy and a desire to work with young people to ensure they get the most out of their stay with us.

One of the attractions of the job is the variety – no two days are the same. You could be meeting new students at the airport; refereeing an international football tournament; accompanying students on a guided tour of London, judging a Talent Show or chairing ‘University Challenge’. Many of our activity staff are considering a career in teaching. Activity Leading is an excellent opportunity to get experience of working with young people to support PGCE applications.

The activity programme is a key part of the summer school experience - and has equal importance to the academic programme. As well as improving and practising their English students want to meet people from other parts of the world and to have fun: the activity programme is the perfect opportunity for this. The programme includes full and half day excursions, sports, arts & crafts, Talent Shows and discos. Activity Leaders are responsible for planning, promoting and leading these activities.

You will be part of a team of Activity Leaders organizing and implementing the activity programme. The role involves a substantial amount of walking, taking public transport and climbing stairs when accompanying students on excursions. You will also supervise and lead students ensuring they take part in the programme fully and safely.

An Activity Leader should expect to work up to 44 hours per week based on working 10-14 sessions per week over a 6 day period. There will be 1 day off per week. Some evening and weekend work will be required.
