Days off for the only health care provider

[campmonkey]

I am currently trying the finalise a report I have been pushing back for the camp where I worked for the last two summers. At this camp, I am the only health care worker. I get 6ish days off during the summer like all other staff members but these days off are very stressful for me because I never know who will be in charge of the health center.

We do not have nurses at our camp. Our accreditation asks for a minimum of 16 hours of first aid, I am a medical first responder with St. John Ambulance and have extensive first aid training. I also have years of experience working with kids. When I leave camp, they let pretty much any one replace me and multiple people will replace me in one day. They do very basic first aid, are only present in the health care center before meals and turn away most of the kids. I have been trying, for the last two years, to have one lifeguard stay in the health care center for the entire day (they could go out but wouldn't be put in charge of any activities). The direction and leading animation team just don't see my job as being that hard which of course it wouldn't be if I turned away half the kids, never kept the kids who need to stay in isolation, in isolation and didn't try to keep the health center clean and organised. I always come back to an extra day of work on my hands.

For those of you who also work alone, how are days off handled? How can I get everyone to realise just how impossible they are making my job? I feel bad for the kids when I leave on my days off I still do because I need the time off but...

I plan on going back next year and I want to get our new director to really understand the importance of having a good replacement system.

Thank you!
