    I'm about to Graduate from a degree in Education studies as well! I'm so bored of it!!! But good luck for the PGCE i don't think i could stand anymore studying.

    I currently work part time at an after-school club but during the summer I will be working full-time at a holiday play-scheme which is work i seriously love. There are loads about who just look for staff for the summer, i know there is a company called camp beaumont that is national. There are some who specialise with special needs camps who employ lots more staff as they need smaller ratio's but you will need experience working with SEN children. Some look for specialist staff so unless you have a specialism in sports look for 'playwork' schemes which lean towards arts and craft activities, general games and sports.
    If you've got on a PGCE then you should have a clear CRB and experience working with children, generally this is the kind of experience you need as often the companies do training sessions that happen around July before you start.

    HTH i've done it for quite a few local companies so if you have nay questions I can try and help.
