Introduction to the AL Role

ANGLO Leaders (ALs) are in regular direct contact with students. ALs regularly:

• Plan and lead excursions
• Plan and lead activities such as sports and discos
• Lead workshops
• Do meal supervision duties

At the beginning and end of student programmes, ALs also:

• Assist with arrival & departure of student groups
• Make students feel welcome
• Give safety information to students and group leaders

Being an ANGLO Leader is a residential job meaning that ALs live, eat, sleep and work in close proximity to each other, to students and to group leaders. The AL role can often involve working long days, being on the move a lot, and carries the weight of being responsible for the wellbeing of groups of teenage students. On the other hand, it is a fantastic way to meet lots of other like-minded, outgoing, enthusiastic young people, and the role provides the opportunity to tour some of the UK's most visited locations - for free.
