Canoe Instructor: share your passion for paddling with our young guests! Opportunities in the UK for the 2012 season - applications are open! Canoeing is at the heart of PGL and we have long recognised this sport as a great way to introduce children to the outdoors. PGL is the UK's leading provider of residential activity holidays and study courses for young people. More than 400,000 young guests enjoy a PGL trip each year, and we're looking for energetic staff team members to make that happen. 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 our UK centres, you'll split your time between paddling sessions and leading land-based activities including climbing, ropes courses, quadbiking and archery. Depending on the location of your centre, you could be teaching groups on rivers, natural lakes or on-site purpose built paddlesports lakes. We offer a comprehensive pre-employment training course to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you'll need for this. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your all-round outdoor leadership skills in a supportive environment with plenty of scope for future training and qualifications. New Canoe Instructors joining us with little previous work-based experience join us on the PGL apprenticeship scheme, which leads to the Level 2 award in Introductory Work in the Outdoors, awarded by the National Open College Network. At the end of your first season, you'll have the opportunity to apply for a place on the nationally-recognised Intermediate (Level 2) Apprenticeship programme in Active Leisure and Learning which incorporates an NVQ, Key Skills certificates and National Governing Body coaching and personal competency awards. This gives you a valuable, universally-recognised qualification for life, at no cost to yourself! We're looking for keen paddlers who ideally already hold a minimum of their UKCC Level 1 Coach award. Click APPLY ONLINE to be redirected to our website: Here you can create your own 'My PGL' account and complete an online application form. 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 equality and diversity. We welcome applicants from all sectors of the community. activity adventure canoeing children fun instructor kayaking moving northern outdoors overseas paddler paddling residential seasonal social teaching water watersports white gap year beach sea alps college placement
