Description

Job description

Oxford International Junior Programmes offers a range of summertime ESL programmes at carefully chosen centres in the UK, Canada, and the US. Our programmes aim to create a study experience of educational value, of cultural interest, and, of course, full of fun and memories to take home.

Our Boca Raton summer program is based at Florida Atlantic University*, where students receive a combination of 15 hours English language tuition per week and a comprehensive programme of activities and excursions. The activity programme will include daytime and evening activities as well as half-day and full-day excursions to attractions and places of cultural interest.

We are currently looking for staff for contracts of various length from end-of-June to end of-July 2026 (programme dates are June 29 – July 30, 2026).


Main Duties and Responsibilities

The Activity Leader plays a key role in our Junior Programme, and will lead groups of students on trips and activities in a safe, fun, and responsible manner. More than a chaperone, Activity Leaders engage with students to spur discussion (in English!), answer questions, and act as a positive role model.

Activity leaders may also be responsible for planning, organizing, and implementing on-site activities that are inspiring, dynamic, and most importantly - fun!
