It's high energy, intense and jam-packed full of fun! You are going to have as much fun as the children in your care.

Who Should Apply

This role would suit someone looking to gain experience with working with children, to support your current studies or career progression by gaining substantial and meaningful experience through the school holidays. Students, recent graduates, teachers and others working term times/weekend only find Camp Williams a brilliant way to spend some or all of their school holidays.

We are also happy for you to return to work for us each school holiday and become a long-term member of our Camp team! We operate through every Nottinghamshire County Council school holiday, based from the Beckett School. The camp day is 7.30am to 6pm and we operate Monday to Friday. We would also need you to commit for whole weeks for consistency of the children in our care. We love seeing Camp Leaders return each holiday and would be able to give some level of commitment to ongoing hours over an academic year.

Requirements

Please note, you must be over 18 to apply for this role. This post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check (paid for by YMCA) and registration with the DBS Update Service. We reserve the right to withdraw this role before the closing date should we be able to appoint to the role.
