About Global Camps
We are an established childcare company operating holiday camps for primary-aged children during the school holidays. Our unique programme of childcare includes a variety of activities including sports, language learning, arts & crafts and outdoor adventure. In addition to our main camp, we also offer wraparound care in the form of a Breakfast Club and an After Club. At our camps, we create a safe and nurturing atmosphere where children can learn, play and make friends.
Job Description
We are looking for energetic, creative and experienced Senior Activity Leaders to work at our Summer Camp in Sydenham/Forest Hill (SE London) which operates from 8.30am-3.30pm throughout the school holidays, with wraparound care options available. You will ensure all children are supervised and safeguarded and will administer basic first aid where necessary. You will help contribute towards a positive and fun atmosphere where the children have fun and make friends. You will be responsible for ensuring the spaces are left clean and tidy.
