English Teachers and Activity Leaders for European summer camps

Do you have experience working with children?

Are you looking for something different and rewarding to do this summer?

Working on English Experience Camps might be for you!

The English Experience is currently recruiting both qualified EFL teachers and experienced activity leaders to work with young learners (ages 7 to 14 and 13 to 18) on summer camps in Italy, Slovenia, and Germany.

We have opportunities to work on a number of one or two-week camps from August to September.

We provide bespoke resources, and you will be part of a like-minded, encouraging team. This is a chance to develop skills, and to progress into a more specialised role. There are opportunities to be promoted to the role of Coordinator, or Drama Coordinator. It is a great experience that could be put towards building a career in EFL.

All staff are required to travel to the camp on the Saturday before the camp and working hours are Monday to Friday, typically 08:30-16:00. No pastoral duties are required.

For more information, or an informal discussion about the post, please contact English Camps Administrator (campsadmin@englishexp.co.uk).
