Camp Counsellor

Who are we?
Telligo is a French company specialised in organising themed camps for children aged 6 - 17 years. The camps we offer are mainly science camps, but we also feature English language camps during Easter, Fall and Summer breaks. The aim of these camps is to help the children gain confidence when they speak English, and we do so through a series of fun and relaxed workshops. Each camp has a fascinating theme (MI6 Agents, Wizards School, etc.), in order to give the children a chance to rediscover learning English through their own passions.

A fun summer job
For language camps, a third of our camp counsellors are native English speakers. We are looking for dynamic and outgoing native English speakers, aged 18 +, who are keen to work with children and happy to be part of a young international team. This job is a lot of fun, and a chance to gain a sense of responsibility through childcare. We offer a fixed term contract with minimum wage pay (8h/day)*, and adequate insurance. All of our French camp counsellors are fluent in English, so you will not be isolated from the rest of the team.

Main duties/responsibilities
On a typical day, each camp counsellor will manage two fun and interactive themed workshops in the morning. In the afternoon, the camp counsellors will organize a variety of entertaining activities, games and excursions.           

List of duties:
-    Supervise children’s daily routine (wake-up, meals, showers, tidying up, bed-time, etc.) 
-    Organize and manage entertaining workshops in a supportive fashion so that the kids feel confident when participating and speaking
-    Organize afternoon group activities (team games, visits, sports, etc.)
-    Take part in the evening social sessions with the children

Candidates will be required to work 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. We offer short-term contracts (but you can sign as many as you’d like) with minimum wage pay and adequate insurance cover. Food and accommodation is provided on camp.
