Description

The role of the Tech Camps Instructor is to deliver outstanding, structured technology and coding
activities to small groups of 8 to 14 year olds on our Ultimate Tech Camps. This is a roaming role and you
will be based at one location each week and then move to a geographically close one the next.

Using supporting resources and a structured timetable, you will be expected to deliver coding and
technology activities to children aged between 8 and 14 years over 4 days, with the emphasis being on
participation, engagement and creativity. You will also have a pastoral role, being the group leader and key
contact for the group of children on the course. You will have a Camp Manager on-site to provide support
on care and parent issues.

Duties and Responsibilities:
• Prepare and deliver activities for children aged 8-14, focusing on participation, skills and
enjoyment.
• Travel expenses to and from the location outside your local area will be paid for at 20p per mile.
• Ensure all policies and procedures on camp are adhered to by yourself and the children in your
care, including all health and safety, and safeguarding procedures.
• Take a pastoral role as a group leader, welcoming new children into your group and liaising with
the Camp Manager and/or parents as necessary.
• Supervision of children outside of activity session times.
• At all times behave in a manner that reflects the expectations of Ultimate Activity Camps.
• Live up to the Ultimate Activity Camp promise of ‘Inspiring Children Everyday’ throughout your
employment.
• Show the required energy, enthusiasm and professionalism for the duration of the season, acting
as an ambassador for Ultimate Activity Camps and behaving as a suitable role model for children.

with the same problem one a one-to-one basis and it’s important that you’re able to help them
through any moments of frustration with enthusiasm.
• Someone looking for a challenging but hugely rewarding and fun job in the holidays, looking to further their career in ICT teaching or the childcare industry.
