English Teachers for Summer Camp
Applications close in -2565 days
Are you looking for a dynamic way to spend summer 2017? Look no further than our Summer Camps! We are currently looking to hire mother-tongue English speakers who are enthusiastic about working with children and young people in a fast-paced and fun environment.
Based in Padova, near Venice in Italy, our camps allow children to learn essential communication skills through interaction with native speakers and by full immersion in the English language. As a result, we are looking for cheerful and outgoing candidates who have a passion for working with young people.
Our campers are between the ages of 4 and 16 and are, for the most part, native Italian speakers. However, it is not essential that prospective camp counsellors speak Italian. Although Italian is not a requirement, candidates must have experience of working with children and young people in different environments. Summer camp staff will be supported by the summer camp co-ordinator but must be able to take initiative when carrying out activities and have the knowledge and expertise of leading activities with children.
Camp will run from 12th June until 28th July 2017. It is required that candidates are able to attend the full dates of camp. There will be online training before arrival.
A typical camp day consists of 8 hours. You will have two days off per week. Throughout the camp day you will be served lunch and be given a break during the course of activities.
As a member of staff at our Summer Camps you will be part of an international team and will be able to gain a large number of transferable skills that will benefit you in the future. Additionally, as our camp is situated in the Veneto region of Italy, you are within easy travel distance of many major cities. Venice, for example, is a 20 minute train journey away.
