Canoe/Kayak Instructor

Description

Share your passion for paddling with our young guests.

Canoeing is at the heart of PGL and we have long recognised this sport as a great way to introduce children to the outdoors.

As a Canoe Instructor, you'll be leading introductory sessions, briefing guests on safety, organising games and making sure your group have a fun, safe time on the water.

At UK centres in Herefordshire and the Brecon Beacons, you'll split your time between paddling sessions and leading land-based activities including climbing, ropes courses, quadbiking and archery.

We offer a comprehensive pre-employment training course to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you'll need for this.

As well as working with like-minded people, you will benefit from the training on offer. Every staff member is offered Apprenticeship programmes in Active Leisure and Learning to help you get qualified 'on the job'.

Our centre locations mean plenty of opportunity to paddle during your free time, either on flat or moving water.

** Sign up for our Recruitment E-News to stay in touch and be the first to know about opportunities to gain experience, new friends and great memories.**

Successful applicants are required to undergo an enhanced CRB disclosure, which PGL will pay for.

You need to possess the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this position.

PGL is committed to the principle of equal opportunities.

Requirements

We're looking for keen paddlers who ideally already hold a minimum of their BCU Trainee Level 2 Coach award, or UKCC Level 1 Coach award.

If you do not hold these awards, but are an experienced paddler, or hold your BCU 3* or UKCC 2* competency award, you may be interested in our Activity Instructor positions where you can build up your personal competency hours during your free time and work towards gaining your BCU/UKCC awards.
