Summer Camp Health & Safety 2IC!

Hamilton

Camp Quality New Zealand (Waikato/Bay Of Plenty Region)

Hours:
Both/Flexible

Our campers are just like regular kids; they’ve each had their unique cancer journey, but they still want to laugh, run around with friends, and enjoy every moment of camp life.
As the 2IC Health & Safety Coordinator, you'll play a key role in ensuring their safety while they’re having the time of their lives.

You’ll oversee:

  • Assisting the Health & Safety Coordinator with risk assessments, incident management, and ensuring safety protocols are followed.
  • Supporting staff and volunteers in keeping campers safe during all activities, from messy crafts to adventurous outdoor fun.
  • Helping to keep an eye on camp operations to ensure everyone is enjoying themselves while staying safe and sound.

We'll take care of:

  • Our campers’ healthcare. We have trained nurses on every camp who know the ins and outs of what each camper needs.
  • Keeping you well fed. Our kitchen team are second to none, and no one ever goes hungry!
Requirements:

You MUST:

  • Be 18 years or older
  • Enjoy working with children
  • Have a background in health & safety, with experience writing RAMS etc
  • Be responsible, trustworthy and willing to put others needs ahead of your own
  • Bring a positive, empathetic and fun-loving attitude!
  • Attend a Training day. You’ll spend the day with fellow companions, learning about who we are, what we do, what life at camp looks like and any important information to make sure our kids have a fantastic week! Our next training day is OCTOBER 12TH!

If you apply for this role, you will be sent a confirmation email containing a link to register for training!

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

This is an ongoing position, but annually we would need help over a week in the summer and a weekend in the winter.

To join us at camp, you MUST attend one of our annual trainings (either a weekend or single day).
Summer Camp is held over a week (5.5 - 6 days) in January, and we also host a mini winter camp over a weekend (2.5-3 days), usually in August/September.

Joining us at training makes you eligible for any events in the coming 12 months. For every event (ie. Summer Camp), you will be asked to ‘sign up’ as confirmation of your availability. When you have registered your availability, our staff will then consider you during the matching process for pairing with a camper. If you are successfully matched, you will be notified and you’ll be joining us on camp! If you are not successfully matched, never fear, there may be another role for you!

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
