There are hundreds of kids summer camps throughout England. Most of them have a specialism such as TEFL or outdoor activities.

Holiday Parks and Campsites in England

Holiday Parks and campsites are a large employer of summer staff in England. Campsites and Caravan Parks take on wardens each summer, and the larger parks need seasonal reception staff, cleaners, ground workers and every role needed to take care of summer holiday makers. The really big sites and holiday parks like Pontins (Lancashire, Somerset, Somerset, Soffolk) and Butlins (Lincolnshire, Sussex, Somerset) need even more support staff plus extra staff like entertainers, security staff and kids club childcare workers.

More Ideas

General short term work can be a good earner but the usual bar / retail work is in short supply lately so you need to be a bit more imaginative. Charities take on students during the holidays to take part in street and door to door fundraising. There are also the numerous festivals in England each year which need all sorts of staff (you don't always get paid but you get in free) and England's Theme parks such as Alton Towers, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Thorpe Park near London.
