This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic and motivated sailing instructor to join the team at Calshot Activities Centre.
We are currently seeking a sailing instructor to join Calshot starting in April 2024 as a multi-activity instructor. You will be enthusiastic, motivated and believe in the value of outdoor learning. It is essential you hold a current RYA Dinghy Instructor Certificate and have worked in a centre with some relevant teaching experience. Skill in any land-based activity which the centres offer is advantageous, however you may have a range of outdoor activities and teaching experience, but no formal qualifications - either way we would like to hear from you.
During term time you will be teaching mostly school groups, whilst over the holidays you will be delivering RYA courses to both children and adults. Calshot is dedicated to accelerating the personal development of young people through group learning situations; this means that where possible an instructor follows a group for the duration of their course, teaching the full range of activities.
This is on a fixed term contract with real opportunities to progress to full time, permanent posts. The Hampshire Outdoor Centres have a reputation for excellence and professionalism as well as operating to the highest standards. Hampshire Outdoor Centres consists of four centres, three in Hampshire and one in Wales.
We offer a flexible, motivating, and inclusive workplace, where talent is truly recognised and developed. We have created an environment that you can look forward to being a part of and where you are empowered to be your best and believe in creating a workplace built on teamwork where people can grow and develop in their roles.
If you think you have what it takes to make a real difference in outdoor education, get in touch!
