Whilst they aren’t assigned a specific group of children, the Assistant Manager is required to step in to lead activities, supervise lunchtimes and model best practice to less experienced Red Tops.  The Assistant Manager acts as a responsible first aider and is always on hand to speak with parents, staff or central office personnel, working alongside the Site Manager to ensure operating procedures and policies are followed correctly."  Child safety is our number one priority so you’ll ensure that the welfare of children is paramount at all times, supervising children during breaks, participating in swimming sessions, overseeing the safe use of equipment, promptly recording any incidents.

• About us
• Kings Camps are a market leading not-for-profit organisation offering sports and activity day camps at over 50 UK locations, getting children and young people active, having fun and learning together.  Founded in 1991, we were inspired by US-style summer camps.

We decided that youngsters in the UK would love to experience school holiday camps too, and established a model which meant we could reach even more children through not-for-profit work in the UK and overseas.  Our coaches (we call them Red Tops) deliver high quality sports camps with an energy, passion and commitment to child development that we call the Kings Factor®.
