Our purpose is to enrich the lives of children through the transformative power of adventure. Will you join us?
Being a Sailing Instructor
Working with kids requires energy, confidence and effort; but we guarantee it’s never, ever boring. You’ll enjoy overseeing our diverse range of fun water sports either on the sea or local lakes; from sailing, dragon boats, kayaking, canoes & SUP. You’ll be delivering fun & educational sessions to children and families whilst maintaining high levels of safety including our equipment.
You won’t always be on water; you could also be running land-based activity sessions, lighting campfires, building shelters, singing songs or lending a helping hand to your hospitality colleagues. No two days will ever be the same.
