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
Dance & Drama Instructor roles are normally based on a 5-day working week.
At camps predicted to operate with 4.5 or more groups, this role will follow a 4-day working
pattern, with one allocated day off each week.
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
Dance & Drama Instructors create an energetic, expressive, and supportive environment where
children aged 4–14 can explore movement, performance, and creativity. By planning and delivering
engaging sessions, encouraging participation, and maintaining excellent supervision, they help
children build confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy a memorable camp experience. Through
clear communication, positive relationships, and a nurturing approach, they ensure every child feels
included, safe and excited to take part.

Key Responsibilities
1. Set up and maintain the dance & drama area, ensuring it is tidy, inviting, and safe for all

children.
2. Plan and deliver a variety of age-appropriate dance and drama activities, using available

resources and adapting sessions to suit different groups.
3. Provide active supervision throughout the day, including during transitions, breaks and lunch

periods.
4. Encourage participation and creativity, supporting children to express themselves and build

confidence.
5. Ensure safe use of equipment, modelling correct practice and reinforcing safety expectations.
6. Work collaboratively with supporting staff, guiding them during sessions, and ensuring smooth

delivery of activities.

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.

7. Deliver the Dance Fusion Skills Builder course, following the programme manual and using

resources appropriately.
8. Liaise with other Dance & Drama Instructors (where applicable) to coordinate planning,

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

Designated Safeguarding Lead.
10. Support individual needs, making reasonable adjustments for children with additional needs,

dietary requirements, or medical conditions.
11. Follow all Health & Safety procedures, including registration, collection, hygiene expectations,

and wider camp protocols.
12. Carry out additional duties as required, in line with the needs of the camp and the organisation’s

objectives.
13. 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.
