About the Position: 

The Safety Supervisor will be a contracted, seasonal PGC camp staff member but with significantly different responsibilities. Their primary responsibility is supervision in the dorms between gym sessions and at night. The Safety Supervisor will have no responsibilities during class times but will have responsibilities during gym sessions. The Safety Supervisor MUST be First Aid & CPR certified to be considered for this position. 

Key Responsibilities:

• The Safety Supervisor will have no responsibilities before 10 am, unless an athlete has slept in and the Site Manager needs the Safety Supervisor to accompany them to wake the athlete. The Site Manager & Safety Supervisor will decide if Basket Instructors assist with wake-ups.
• Following lunch and dinner, the Safety Supervisor will go to the dorms to provide supervision if athletes are permitted to go to the dorms.
• The Safety Supervisor will remain in the dorms until notified that all the athletes are present in the classroom session. This will ensure attendance sheets are checked every classroom session

• The Safety Supervisor will be expected to sit as close as possible to the primary exit and be one of the first to eat so they can be the first to leave and get back to the dorms for supervision, except during staff meetings.
• The Safety Supervisor will participate in all staff meetings, as athletes will be required to stay in the cafeteria until the meeting has finished. If the meeting runs long or the athletes get restless, the Safety Supervisor will leave the meeting early to provide dorm supervision.
• The Safety Supervisor will be responsible for tracking the following Director Quality Assurance Metrics during all gym sessions:
  • The time athletes spend doing vs listening/watching (the expected ratio is 3:1)
  • The number of hydration breaks per gym session and the time per break
  • The number of staff huddle-ups per session
  • How many times the Director had a huddle-up with the Observing Coaches.
  • Whether the Director spent time at every basket during the gym session.
  • Once Safety Supervisors have recorded the demo & explanation times, they will provide support at baskets that need an extra set of hands and eyes. 
• The Safety Supervisor will also keep an eye out and connect with athletes who get injured or frustrated.
• At the end of the morning & afternoon gym sessions, the Safety Supervisor will give any relevant dorm announcements (e.g., when athletes can go to the dorms).
