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 Vancouver summer program is based at the The University of British Columbia*, 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.

In this role, you will support the Activity Manager by ensuring that our activity leaders have all the tools and instructions required to escort students throughout Vancouver’s top tourist sites and organize entertaining on-campus activities.
