Job Description

Company description

Samiad is one of the largest residential summer schools in the UK, with four campuses and over 1000 students excepted from 70 countries.

We were established in 2013 to try and offer more value and a better experience for children attending summer schools, and since then these values have only gotten stronger. We focus on 4 main areas to achieve this and briefly they are;

- We have an industry leading staff to student ratio.

- We offer unique, high value excursions, including our now famous OVERNIGHT excursions to either a medieval castle or a safari park!

- We push the boundaries on what activities can be offered at a summer school, from zombie runs, escape games, assault courses and music festivals

- We cap each language to 20%, meaning there is a maximum of 30 children with the same mother tongue as your children on campus, in reality it will be far less

We are looking for vibrant and enthusiastic staff to join our team to work for our holiday camps where we look after boarding school residential students as they cant get home for the the holidays.
