Arts & Crafts Instructor Job Description

Hours of work: 08:30 – 17:30

Contract Type: Seasonal Fixed term.

Salary: £516.78 – £663.48 salary per week (dependent on age, experience, and qualifications)
(February Half Term Contracts to be issued on 2025 wage level. 2026 wage level effective from 1st April).

Reportable to: Camp Senior Team, Area Manager and Central Office

Barracudas is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff

to share this commitment and act in the best interests of children at all times. Adhering to our safeguarding policies and

procedures including safer recruitment practices, staff should play an active role in creating a supportive, safe, and

protective environment for call children and young people.

Working Pattern
Arts & Crafts Instructor contracts are seasonal roles based on a 5-day working week.
At larger camps with two Arts & Crafts Instructors (typically those with 7+ groups), your weekly
schedule may include an allocated day off. Your working pattern will be confirmed in advance by
your Recruiter or Camp Manager.

About Us

Barracudas is the UK’s leading provider of children’s holiday camps, helping young people build

confidence, develop new skills, and make new friends through a wide range of activities. With 45+

camp locations across the UK, we offer exciting programmes including Sports, Arts & Crafts, Drama

and more. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every child feels

supported and valued. Safeguarding and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do.

Role Purpose

Arts & Crafts Instructors create a fun, inspiring and creative environment where children aged 4–14

can explore new skills and express themselves. By planning and delivering engaging craft sessions,

maintaining a safe and inviting workspace and supporting children of all abilities, they help every

child feel confident, included, and excited to take part. Through strong supervision, clear

communication and a nurturing approach, Arts & Crafts Instructors ensure children enjoy a positive,

imaginative, and memorable camp experience.

Key Responsibilities

1. Set up and maintain the arts & crafts area, ensuring it is tidy, well-organised, inviting and
fully stocked with appropriate resources.

2. Plan and deliver a wide range of creative, age-appropriate activities, using available
resources and adapting ideas to suit different groups.

3. Provide clear safety instructions and demonstrations, ensuring children understand how to
use tools and materials safely.

4. Work collaboratively with supporting staff, guiding them during sessions, and ensuring
smooth delivery of activities.

5. Ensure active supervision throughout the day, including during transitions, breaks and lunch
periods.

This role involves working with children and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders act 1974. A successful applicant will be required
to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, including a check of the children's barred list. Applicants are not
required to disclose convictions or cautions that are considered "protected" under the Rehabilitation of Offenders act 1974 (Exceptions)
order 1975 (amended in 2013 & 2020). This information will not be taken into account. Guidance on protected convictions and cautions is
available from the Ministry of Justice.

6. Support children’s individual needs, making reasonable adjustments for additional needs,

dietary requirements, or medical conditions.
7. Encourage participation and creativity, offering praise, reassurance and support to help

children feel confident and engaged.
8. Create prototypes and displays to inspire children and showcase their work.
9. Deliver and oversee the Discovery Squad Skills Builder, ensuring resources are used correctly

and sessions follow the programme manual.
10. Liaise with other Arts & Crafts Instructors (where applicable) to coordinate planning,

resources, and shared responsibilities.
11. Uphold safeguarding responsibilities, reporting concerns immediately to the Senior Team or

Designated Safeguarding Lead.
12. Follow all Health & Safety procedures, including equipment checks, hygiene expectations,

and wider camp protocols.
13. Carry out additional duties as required, in line with the needs of the camp and the

organisation’s objectives.
14. Support additional camp activities, including Skills Builder sessions (where required) and

swimming sessions – you’ll need to bring swimwear, and a spare t-shirt will be available at
camp.
