Featured vacancies include everything from trainee instructor programmes to jobs for activity instructors, group leaders, senior instructors, team leaders, programme managers and centre managers. Outdoor centres are predominantly located in rural areas so accommodation is often provided as a subsidised option for live-in staff. In recent years there has been a significant growth in urban adventure opportunities with an increasing number of indoor climbing centres, zip wires, ropes courses and aerial adventures.
Outdoor instructor jobs often require candidates to have a certain level of experience alongside accredited qualifications such as national governing body teaching awards, e.g.RYAfor sailing and windsurfing. Check out ourOutdoor Resources pageto find more information about national governing bodies for different adventure activities. TheInstitute for Outdoor Learningalso run a professional registration and accreditation scheme for practitioners in the outdoors.
