Overview
Sotogrande International School is seeking a dynamic and passionate Nanos/Mega assistant Teacher to assume this role for our Summer Camps in Sotogrande.
Nanos and Megas are the youngest age groups in Camp, and we want them to have a great time while doing top quality activities in a safe, fun and positive environment. Assistant will be assigned to a group of approximately 10 kids each day together with the Teachers, and responsible for helping and assisting in running various daily activities.
We provide intensive training for assistants and ongoing support from our managers to ensure that they succeed in creating the most fun, dynamic, and safe activities possible for their group of campers. However, assistants should be able to work independently at some points and supply a memorable experience for the children.
Assistants for these two age groups should be proactive when working with very young learners, as their activities should be highly engaging and adapted for a fun-orientated programme. These age groups are different from the older groups, as Nanos/Megas will be on-site only during the day and will follow a multiactivity timetable, mixing sports, projects, or trips, all led by the monitor.
In addition to this, we might need some of them to join the arrivals day and help with some tasks. More information will be provided before camp starts.
We expect Nano/Mega Assistants to be individuals full of imagination, passion and energy in order to meet the extraordinary demands of camp work.
