This position runs a total of 15 weeks, beginning at the Museum in Southampton on May 25, 2021 and ending September 3, 2021.  The Senior Leader is one of two summer students providing leadership for KidZone Camp and running LEGO Fridays alongside the Junior Leader and reporting to the Education & Outreach Coordinator.

During camp (June 29 – September 2, excluding July 1) the Senior Leader will be responsible for planning the activities for the 10 weeks of camp which include: crafts, games, songs, stories, outdoor time, and exhibit-based activities. Once camp begins, the Senior leader will work alongside the Junior Leader, implementing the day-to-day execution of the camp, and will also be responsible for some administrative tasks which may include checking registration sheets, children’s health forms, attendance, filling out reports, and overseeing the sign-in and sign-out processes. 

The preferred candidate for the position will be a post-secondary student studying in an education, early childhood education, heritage & culture, or recreation-related field. Candidates will be enthusiastic, self-starters, and enjoy spending time with and caring for children, as well as working with people of all ages who will attend LEGO Fridays.

The candidate will have a working understanding of the standard Microsoft Office suite of programs and be proficient in email and social networking applications.
