Will I be expected to lead sessions on my own?
Yes. All members of staff (excluding Assistant Group Leaders, Assistant Nursery Leaders, and Vocational Experience staff) will be expected to lead sessions on their own. During your Training Afternoon and Camp Orientation you will be taught how to organise and run a successful session and there are loads of activity ideas in the Activity Manual which you will be sent prior to camp. There are lots of resources online where you can find interesting and exciting activity ideas.
I'm not sure exactly what job to apply for, how will I know I am applying for the right one?
We suggest you apply for the job you feel you would be most suited for, however after processing your application we may suggest a different position that we feel would be more suitable for your qualifications and experience. We can also discuss this at your interview.
Do you carry out background checks?
Yes. All our staff will undergo the Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure. In order to carry out these checks you will be asked to provide original identification and previous addresses. For more information on filling in your CRB form click here. You must also provide two references; these can include teachers, employers, coaches etc. but should not be a family member or friend.
Will I be provided with uniform?
Yes you will be provided with two Camp Beaumont t-shirts and a hoody that you will need to give a small deposit for. During camp you should wear dark trousers or shorts (no denim) and trainers that are suitable for outdoor activities.
