    Activity Leader contracts are based on a minimum of 4 - days per week. You will have an allocated day off each week, which is confirmed to you through your Recruiter/Camp Manager each week.

Again, this is confirmed by your recruiter/Camp Manager ahead of time.

    You will receive these notifications towards the end of each week. The allocated day off will likely differ each week. If you need a particular day off, this needs to be authorised ahead of camp, as we can't guarantee this will fall on your allocated day off.

    Barracudas are committed to equal opportunities in employment and this post does require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order and 2020) provides that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'.
