Teen Activity Leader - Europe

Salary: Up to £570 PCM based on experience + accommodation* + great overall package

Dates: April - November

Location: European Beach Resorts

Reports To: Children’s Club Manager/Supervisor

Job Role Summary:

Working for Neilson Active holidays is more than a job; it’s a lifestyle. Spend the summer season based in one of our beautiful beach club resorts, where it’s all about sharing your passion for the activities you love. You’ll be working hard, but the work is fun, and there’s always plenty of time to play!

There’s no doubt that this is a full-on role and you’ll need tonnes of energy, but if you’re up for it, you’ll enjoy an incredible summer in the sunshine  ensuring that all of our younger guests have the best holiday ever!

We’re looking for individuals who love working with kids of all ages and feel that they can bring some additional magic to our Kid’s Team. 

Ideally, we’re looking for full season staff (usually from April through to November). We’ll consider candidates with shorter dates of availability, but operationally those with a combination of the best dates and qualifications will always take preference.

Until the busier times, you’ll primarily be working with the main Children’s Club Team; however, as the older kids roll into resort, you’ll be setting up and take charge of an awesome programme of activities to ensure that our teenage guests have the best holiday ever!

You’ll be involved in organising and supervising a safe, fun and varied timetable of activities, both inside and out. 

Neilson offer the following different clubs:

  • Starfish crèche (4-23 months)
  • Sea Urchins (two and three years old)
  • Sea Badgers (four and five years old)
  • Surfbusters (six and seven years old)
  • Sharksters (eight and nine years old)
  • Stingrays (10 and 11 years old)
  • Surf Squad (12 and 13 years old)
  • Wave Riders (14 and 15 years old)
  • TAG (16 and 17 years old)

Although your skill-set is essential, with Neilson Active Holidays, it’s also about personality. We’re always looking for friendly, energetic and approachable individuals to join our brilliant team.

People who can build rapport with ease and provide our guests with confidence in the fact that every element of their holiday is delivered by people who care.
