Description
Camp drivers and support do just what their title suggests: they are a support staff for their camp and are the ones that will do any driving necessary. The camp support and driver position is one of the positions on camp that isn’t necessarily with the campers directly most of the time (except when driving them, etc.) as they are usually to be found either driving off to the nearby town to buy things, fixing things around camp, lifting and mounting objects, taking photos, and generally helping out with any task required!
Candidates must be enthusiastic, have initiative and a lot of stamina and deemed to have the 'camp personality'. Candidates for this position should be interested in developing their language skills, as in this post, unlike other ones, Spanish will be required to be spoken. Candidates should also have an interest in doing a variety of tasks in the up-keeping of the camp facilities, as a lot of adaptability, and at times flexibility, will be required. Applicants must also enjoy doing physical work as in this position, doing a lot of: lifting, mounting and moving of objects will be required. This position is ideal for people who wish to work in Spain but are looking for shorter working hours (bar set up and tidy up) than those involved working as a Camp Monitor. It is also ideal for people looking to gain experience working with children without having the twenty four hour responsibility for them that Camp Monitors and Teachers have.
Job Responsibilities + Tasks
- Driving campers and staff as needed.
- Pick up supplies and carry out tasks in local towns efficiently and effectively.
- Help out as needed with set up, serving and tidy up of meal times.
- Be on call in case of emergency or special need.
- As required take campers to local hospitals and if no other staff member is with camper, accompany child into hospital, looking after them as needed.
- Responsible for the organisation and distribution of camp materials.
- Meet daily with Director to report on duties carried out and receive new tasks./
- Reading the camp manuals and familiarising yourself with all areas of the camp before your arrival.
- Act as a monitor in case of need.
On Excursion weekends, as there are no transfers, the drivers will assist the Camp Support Staff and Cleaning staff with the making of beds (picking up the used bed linen, taking them to the laundry and then replacing the sheets with new ones and making the beds for when the children get back from the excursion and assisting the cleaning team with basic cleaning). Also on these days, the drivers will be in charge of charging the campers’ mobile phones.
On Arrival and Departure weekends, if there are not many transfers, the drivers will be asked to assist the Camp Support Staff with the making of beds and very basic cleaning (as above).
Camp Drivers are responsible for the correct up keep and cleanliness of their vehicle, and should ensure that campers respect it and keep it tidy at all times. Every weekend, and any other time needed, they must ensure their van is cleaned inside and out.
HOURS OF WORK:
Camp work is very demanding and all candidates should recognise that this job is anything but 9-5 living, with long hours needing to be put in by all camp staff. Drivers will generally start at 10:00 in the morning and finish at 22:00. They will have a break of approximately 4 hours in the middle of the day.
Because of the nature and responsibility of their job the Camp Driver and Supports have much more time off than normal camp staff, however because of this situation, Camp Driver and Supports are expected to be flexible with their hours and, if emergency or special event requires it, be needed to work a bit extra in other moments.
