With the exception of a few residential programmes, our UK opportunities are non-residential and therefore we do not provide accommodation. We do not reimburse travel costs and therefore you have to be willing and able to commute to your chosen camp on a daily basis.
This may be possible but only if you have accommodation in travelling distance of a Kings Camp and are eligible to work within the UK. Please contact us using the email link below.
Child welfare is our number one priority and therefore all Kings Camps staff must be interviewed, provide professional and personal references, complete an identity and enhanced disclosure check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, or equivalent for Scottish Residents) and, depending on your role, we may need to see proof of any specialist qualifications you hold. You will also receive market-leading on-line and on-site training covering customer care, child protection, child supervision, dynamic session development (and much more) before starting the role.
Please see our contract FAQ’s here for further details.
