Senior Watersports Instructor

You will have a passion for watersports and have the ability to live and work in a small team. You will be self-motivated and able to work without supervision. You will be required to be creative, supportive, hardworking and confident in your own teaching methods. Your typical daily routine will be the same as all other Watersports Instructors, including such tasks as: carrying equipment, rigging, cleaning, providing safety cover, teaching, maintenance, session planning, socialising with guests and running children's sessions. However, as a Senior Instructor you will also be given extra responsibilities from time to time, as and when required. For example you may be asked to take charge of a Sail Away trip, or you may be asked to stand in for the supervisor on their day off. Your extra duties will be assigned in relation to your personal skill set and proven strengths. This is a great role for anyone wanting to become a team supervisor or manager in the future.

All instructors will teach a variety of sessions from 1.5 hour beginner sessions, to 2 day RYA courses. You will teach a range of ages and abilities. You will also be involved in running childrens sessions and supporting non-watersports sessions such as fitness classes and bike guiding. As a Senior you will be expected to lead by example and maintain professional standards at all times. Working with the support and guidance of your line manager, the Watersports Manager, you will help to ensure all watersports activities are delivered in accordance with both BeyondBeach and RYA guidelines.

Excellent customer service skills and a friendly approachable style are essential in ensuring we provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests. A positive attitude and an enthusiasm for working to high standards will ensure you have a great time working with us. As a Senior Instructor your ability to stay positive and bring energy and enthusiasm into work each day is key factor in helping to motivate the team and lead them to success.

Basic hours are 08:30 to 18:30. However, this will vary day by day. Some evening work is also required as part of our guest social program. This is typically no more than 2 evenings a week. Work is carried out 6 days a week. Working hours are flexible to the needs of the company. It is really important that all our staff recognise the need to be flexible in their approach to work. The very nature of our jobs means that no two days are the same. Your daily routine will need to be flexible to the requests of the guest.

We pride ourselves on offering our staff a different experience. We do all we can to ensure that your time with us is rewarding and enjoyable. We aim for all of our staff to finish their time with us having gained new qualifications and/or experiences to help further their career. We value all of our hard working staff and love seeing teams building new friendships and enjoying their work year after year. If you want to learn new skills, challenge yourself, progress your watersports career, make lifelong friends and enjoy your job, this is the role for you.
