Reportable to: Early Years Manager, Camp Manager, 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
Early Years Group Assistant contracts are seasonal roles based on a minimum of 4 days per week,
with one allocated day off each week. Due to booking numbers and staffing needs, there may be
occasions where you are required to work all 5 days. Your weekly schedule will be confirmed 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
Early Years Group Assistants support the delivery of high‑quality sessions such as Explore & Play and
Active Play as well as helping maintain a safe, welcoming, and stimulating environment for 4-5 year
old children. They assist with supervision, behaviour support, and daily routines, ensuring children
feel secure and included. Working closely with the Early Years Group Leader and Early Years
Manager, they contribute to smooth operations, positive relationships, and an Early Years
experience where every child can grow, explore and enjoy their time at camp.

Key Responsibilities

1. Support the delivery of Explore & Play and Active Play sessions, helping to set up activities,

prepare resources and assist the Early Years Group Leader in facilitating children’s development

in line with the EYFS.

2. Maintain a safe, clean, and inviting environment by helping to set up the base room, keeping

play areas tidy and hazard‑free, and ensuring equipment is used safely and packed away

appropriately.

3. Assist with high‑quality activity delivery by supporting the Early Years Group Leader to run

structured, age‑appropriate, and engaging sessions that follow the daily timetable.

4. Provide active supervision at all times, helping monitor children closely throughout the day,

including during transitions, breaks and lunch.

5. Promote positive behaviour and participation by modelling appropriate behaviour, offering

encouragement, and helping children follow routines and expectations.

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.

6. Build positive relationships with children, offering reassurance, support and guidance to help

them feel confident, included, and ready to participate.

7. Support individual needs, including toileting, dressing, hygiene routines and assisting children

with additional needs under the direction of senior staff.

8. Uphold safeguarding responsibilities by following all safeguarding procedures and immediately

reporting any concerns to the Early Years Group Leader, Early Years Manager or Designated

Safeguarding Lead.

9. Follow all Health & Safety procedures, including hygiene expectations, safe movement around

camp and supporting registration and collection processes.

10. Work collaboratively with the Early Years team, communicating effectively and supporting

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

11. Act as a positive role model, demonstrating professionalism, enthusiasm, and a commitment to

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

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

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

13. Carry out additional duties as required, in line with the needs of the Early Years team and wider

camp operations.

14. 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.
