Freelance Camp Director / Facilitation Team Leader

The Camp Director is responsible for leading and supporting the team of Mission Facilitators to deliver a week of dynamic and enjoyable outdoor sessions to children and young people aged 5 – 13 years, in a safe and positive environment.

As the main point of contact on camp for all facilitators, campers, parents, and host venue contacts, this role is paramount to the success of The Hive.

You will have a strong background in the management of an Outdoor Education setting, or equivalent, and the ability to communicate our education offer to parents with authority. You will need to be organised, safety conscious and confident in leading a facilitation team of between 3 – 15 people. You will enjoy communicating with parents and keen to chip in with the mission teams as and when needed. You will also be responsible for ensuring any additional health or learning needs are met and will lead on all First Aid on site.

Our facilitators are a vital part of our team and many stay with us for years, as members of our supportive community. Our small Camp HQ team (our Head of Camps, Logistics Coordinator, Curriculum Coordinator and Team Assistant) are there to support you throughout your time with us. They work on the ground and focus on developing a real sense of teamwork and shared responsibility to help you deliver the best possible camps.

The benefits we offer include fees above the London Living Wage, long-term contracts, access to subsidised external training courses, free breakfast, end of week drinks and social events, discounted training opportunities on our Forest School Training courses, staff discounts for parents, and a fun birthday celebration, should your birthday fall during camp .
