Applicants must have excellent management skills, be able to work within budgets and lead a team of staff. The ability to work under pressure and multi-task is also essential.

Previous experience of working with young adults or children is advantageous as is a knowledge of discipline and grievance procedures for both staff and students. We welcome students from all over the world so candidates must have the desire to work with young people from different cultural backgrounds. We also welcome applicants who have had other lower level summer course management experience and are looking to progress their careers.
