A job as an Activity Leader, Counsellor or Student Helper puts you right at the heart of everything Oxford’s summer schools have to offer.

You’ll be responsible for getting students to the right places at the right times, and for making sure that they feel happy, confident and supported to get the most out of their summer school in Oxford.

And that packed extracurricular timetable the students are given on day one? You’ll be helping to deliver that – which means you’ll get to take part in loads of interesting activities and excursions you wouldn’t otherwise get to try. (Read our blog roundup here for full details on this!)

An Oxford summer job as an Activity Leader therefore is a great way to meet interesting people, have fun and earn money during the summer.

These roles tend to suit (but are not exclusively for) undergraduates, or those who might be looking for a first role working with young people.

One of our friendly team will get back to you, and help you with your options for working as a counsellor – explaining the opportunities on offer and the differences between the various employers.

About Oxford Summer Jobs

Oxford Summer Jobs was founded for one key reason – finding a summer job in Oxford had become too complicated.

With multiple companies advertising multiple jobs across a myriad of boards, platforms and websites, it was difficult for candidates to know where to start.

At OSJ, our mission is to simplify that process, and save everyone – candidates and employers – valuable time. We would be delighted to help you find a role for 2025.
