About the Role
Camp Managers are our on-site representatives with the responsibility for the delivery of a safe, high-quality, school-holiday Kings Camps experience for children aged 5 to 17.
Reporting to the Regional Manager, Camp Managers lead a team of coaching staff, acting as the first point of contact for children, parents and our host venue. Camp Managers are our on-site safeguarding representatives and work with our Head Office Team for support or escalation. You’ll implement policies and ensure these are fairly and consistently followed, communicating openly with all parties in a calm and timely manner.
