Job description

Are you looking for a dynamic way to spend summer 2022? Look no further than Englishland Summer Camp! We are currently looking to hire mother-tongue English speakers who are enthusiastic about working with children and young people in a fast-paced and fun environment.

As a member of staff at Englishland Summer Camps you will be part of an international team and will be able to gain a large number of transferable skills that will benefit you in the future.
