Course Leader
Descrizione dell'offerta
Turn school holidays into an adventure
Ready to swap your normal routine for sun, cities, new friends and unforgettable memories ?
EF Education First (EF ) engages independent course leaders on a project basis to provide student support and activity coordination services during international programs operated by EF.
As an independent Course Leader, you’ll travel abroad with a group of students during the school holidays and help create an amazing experience from start to finish. Trips run for 2–4 weeks , depending on destination and course — and you’ll be right in the middle of the action.
You’ll spend your days exploring, organising activities, supporting students, and working with an international team. One minute you’re on a beach, the next you’re leading your group to an activity, a disco night, or the next big excursion.
You’ll be part of something bigger — helping young people grow in confidence while having the time of your life too.
What you’ll do (your mission)
As a Course Leader, you’ll provide course leader services such as:
- Travelling with your student group to/from the destination (UK, Ireland, Malta, USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, Germany or Korea)
- Being a key point of support for students throughout the trip — helping them feel safe, included and confident
- Working alongside EF destination teams and other Course Leaders to make sure everything runs smoothly
- Helping students get involved in activities and excursions (and leading by example!)
- Hosting daily student briefings after lessons (meeting points, activity options, reminders, hype-building…)
- Supporting arrivals/departures and keeping basic attendance/records up to date
- Helping ensure students follow safety rules and EF behaviour expectations
- Supporting evening activities (yes — this can include late nights , like discos)
Who you are
You’re someone who brings great energy and can handle responsibility — even when things get busy.
You are:
- Fluent in Italian (native - C2)
- Fluent in the language spoken in the destination country (e.g. English, Spanish or German )
- Confident, organised and naturally good with people
- Responsible, calm under pressure, and quick to problem-solve
- Experienced working with young people (teacher, camp leader, scout leader, sports coach etc.)
- Excited by travel and international experiences (you’ve travelled/studied/lived abroad — or you’re keen to!)
Preparation
Before travelling, selected Course Leaders will receive a project briefing covering program requirements, safety standards and logistical information.
Services are provided on a freelance basis. Course Leaders are not employed by EF , are responsible for their own taxes and social security, and provide services are provided under a contractor arrangement.
