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.

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
Early Years Group Leaders play a central role in delivering a safe, nurturing, and engaging camp
experience for our youngest children. They lead Explore and Play and Active Play sessions, support
the implementation of the EYFS, and ensure the daily running of their group is well-organised and
child-centred. By building positive relationships, providing attentive supervision, and adapting
activities to meet individual needs, they help every child feel confident, supported, and excited to
learn and play.

resources to plan, adapt and deliver a wide range of structured, age-appropriate, and engaging

activities.

breaks and lunch periods, and always knowing their whereabouts.

appropriate behaviour, setting clear expectations, and addressing issues calmly and

appropriately.

and creating an environment where they feel confident to participate and ask for help.

needs, dietary requirements, or medical conditions.

reporting any concerns to the Senior Team or Designated Safeguarding Lead.

9. Follow all Health & Safety procedures, including registration, collection, movement systems,

hygiene expectations, and wider camp protocols.

10. Work collaboratively with the wider staff team to support colleagues, communicate effectively,

and ensure smooth delivery of the daily timetable and camp operations.

11. Be a positive role model by demonstrating professionalism, enthusiasm, and a commitment to

high-quality childcare, promoting healthy lifestyles and good hygiene practices.

12. Support additional camp activities, including Skills Builder sessions (where required) and

swimming sessions, supervising children in and out of the water.
