We are looking for a responsible and well-structured Assistant to support the Camp Leader in the organisation and daily operations of our overnight camp (approx. 60 children, 7 staff members).
Each year, we successfully organise well-established summer camps in St. Gilgen, welcoming children from different backgrounds in a structured, international environment.
This role combines leadership responsibility with active involvement in camp life.
The Assistant acts as a bridge between the Camp Leader and the Counsellor team and plays a key role in ensuring structure, safety and smooth daily operations.
Tasks
Your Responsibilities
* Supporting the Camp Leader in organisational and administrative tasks
* Preparing daily programs and materials (printing schedules, activity sheets, class lists, room lists, etc.)
* Assisting with lesson coordination during teaching hours
* Helping ensure a structured and smooth daily flow
* Serving as a contact person for Counsellors
* Acting as second escalation level in child-related conflicts
* Supporting parent communication when required
* Stepping in operationally when the Camp Leader is temporarily unavailable
* Participating fully in activities and supervision as a Counsellor
Requirements
What We Expect

* Ability to stay calm and solution-oriented in stressful situations
* Clear and respectful communication skills
* Willingness to work within a structured leadership framework
* Organisational strength and attention to detail
* Team-oriented mindset
* Emotional maturity and fairness
* This position requires situational awareness, discretion and the ability to balance authority with approachability.
