THE ROLE
Day Camp Teachers are responsible for delivering engaging English language lessons to students aged 6-12. Their dedication ensures transformative experiences for each child. Integrated into the Ultimate Activity Camp programme, our Day Camp students participate in activities alongside British children. This setting not only fosters a multicultural exchange but also provides an immersive English learning environment.
Teachers design lessons that equip students to communicate effectively with peers and camp staff. Teachers champion a culture of respect, understanding, and a love for learning. As our Day Camp students are non-residential and are dropped off and picked up by parents/guardians daily, an integral part of the teacher's role is to communicate with parents/guardians, sharing insights into their child's day and what they've learnt.
Ways we support our EFL Teachers:
- Paid, on-site training prior to student arrival
- CPD and Appraisals
- Continual support for all staff from the Head Office Team, both on the ground and via phone/email
- Online safeguarding and prevent training
- Professional, fun and supportive environment
Additional Role Specific Support
- Online induction pre-summer with SBC Academic Team
- Onsite training and induction with UAC Managers
- Remote support from SBC Academic Team
- Regular check-ins with SBC Academic Team
RENUMERATION: The weekly rate received for EFL Teachers is £625 PLUS any accrued holiday to be paid on the below pay dates.

While SBC oversees the recruitment process for Ultimate Activity Camps, all official documentation, including offer letters, reference checks, and DBS verifications, are managed by UAC.
