As a Holiday Club Coach
, you'll be responsible for planning and delivering engaging, sport-based activities for children aged 5–11 during school holiday periods. You'll be a role model, an encourager, and an enthusiastic presence that children and parents can trust.

Every day at a Premier Education camp is different — different games, different challenges, different moments that remind you why this job matters. But to give you a feel for what you'll be signing up for, here's one example of how a day might look:

8:45am — You arrive on site, catch up with your team and run through the plan for the day.

9:00am — Children arrive. You're welcoming them in, helping nervous first-timers settle, and getting everyone buzzing with energy for the day ahead.

9:30am — Warm‑up time. You lead the group through a fun, high-energy warm‑up — today it's a game of team tag that somehow becomes the highlight of the morning.

10:00am — Into the first activity session. This morning it's a multi-sports tournament. There's effort, laughter, and some very serious competition over who gets to be team captain.

12:00pm — Lunch break. You take a moment to check in with a couple of quieter children you've been keeping an eye on. Small conversations, big impact.

1:00pm — Arts and crafts. The energy shifts gear and children get creative — today they're designing their own team shield. You're amazed by how much personality comes out in what they make.

2:30pm — Back outside for the afternoon sports session. A new game, a fresh challenge, and the kind of noise that tells you everyone's having a great time.

4:30pm — Star Player certificates. You gather everyone together and recognise the standout moments of the day — not just the fastest or the strongest, but the kindest, the most improved, the one who helped someone else back up. The children who receive them will remember it.

5:00pm — Home time. A parent stops to tell you their child has talked about nothing else all week. That's the job.
