Meet and Greet Airport Staff
For over 70 years, St Giles has been dedicated to delivering exceptional English language
learning experiences. Everything we do begins and ends with our students: from the
moment our young learners arrive, our teams work to ensure they are engaged,
supported, and having the educational experience of a lifetime. St Giles Juniors
welcomes students from over 50 countries and is recognised as a leading provider of
high-quality, culturally enriching summer programmes. Our residential Junior courses
cater for learners aged 8–17, and our Family courses welcome children from 5–15,
depending on location. Every member of staff is an ambassador for our ethos: placing
student experience at the centre, upholding our high standards, and contributing
positively to the shared mission of delivering an unforgettable summer.
Our aim is to create a safe, supervised environment where young people can learn, grow,
and connect across cultures. We only recruit staff who are committed to putting student
welfare first and who bring the energy, adaptability and professionalism needed to help
us deliver the very best junior courses. The work is fast-paced and demanding, but it’s
also deeply rewarding—fuelled by teamwork, shared purpose, and the satisfaction of
making a real impact on students’ lives.
It will be necessary to always put the welfare of students first. The working day is
challenging and can be tiring but also filled with teamwork and a real sense of
achievement in delivering an exceptional programme, ensuring that our students have
a positive experience from the moment they arrive.
