There’s a point when you’re in Higher Education when you realise you need to start seriously thinking about what next. I’m so thankful that when I hit that point whilst studying Physical Education and Coaching at Leeds, that I got a job with Kings Camps. My time with Kings fast-tracked my ability to lead others and to relate to people from all walks of life.
Not only was it a pivotal point in my professional development, I had the best time and I made some life-long friends

I loved my summer’s working with Kings Camps, they were hugely enjoyable times and periods of real personal development. Although my professional journey has taken a different direction, the skills and experience I gained at Kings Camps were an important part of my journey.
I continue to have a great relationship with many of the team at the HQ in Sheffield, providing support in data protection and cyber security for the organisation.

Lawyer
For a good few years through my studies I gave up many of my holidays to work long hours for Kings Camps.
Many of my peers thought me crazy for doing so, but as a Site Manager and Regional Manager I loved the challenge of leading a team of young people and the satisfaction of getting lots of children active and having fun.
It helped that I got paid pretty well, but most importantly I was building depth to my CV and developing skills and experience that have contributed to me being able to enter the highly competitive world of law.

5 things I learned with Kings during my university holidays:
1. Don’t sit with your feet up on the table when the boss visits (they will never let you forget it – even 20+ years on!) 2. There’s no substitution for hard work. 3. Working hard can be fun and beneficial when you’re passionate about it 4. Every day is a learning opportunity 5. High quality work experience is a game-changer for your career
Kings Camps provided me with fantastic memories, great friends and a great foundation for leadership roles in my career – it is a wonderful way to start.
