TEAM DURHAM HOLIDAY CAMP COACH

Are you over 18 and you love coaching/building a good rapport with children? Whether you’re a dab hand with a cricket bat, an expert at football or have a flair for dance, this could be the opportunity for you!
Team Durham Holiday Camps are looking for dynamic, enthusiastic and hardworking individuals to work on sport and activity camps, mainly for primary school aged children. Our holiday camps provide a range of exciting activities for young people from across the county aged between 5 and 16 years old. They include our popular multi sports camps, as well as specialised camps (i.e. tennis, hockey, basketball adventure, dance and drama etc). Training will be provided in advance on behaviour management/safeguarding/typical day at camps/timetable overview etc
Our camps run at Easter (2 weeks) and in the summer (4 weeks) each year and all take place at The Sports and Wellbeing Park, Stockton road, Durham, DH1 3SE.
The role is both fun and rewarding but can also be quite strenuous; being a coach for the holiday camps will involve coaching or assisting for full days, a minimum of 1 week and maximum of 4 weeks during the summer. You will be supported by a great team of volunteers and will be working with up to 16 children at any given time. The normal working day will be either the early shift (8:15am-4.45pm) or late shift (9:00am-5:30pm) including a half hour unpaid lunch break.
You will be paid on Durham University Casual Rate 1 per hour (£12.60) plus holiday pay.
