Senior Instructor and or Operations Manager

 

We are looking for a passionate and hardworking leader to join our team based from our Centre in the Lewis Pass. We are a charitable trust that has been around for nearly 50 years.

Having the right person is more important than filling a gap. If you want to work for an organisation that is growing and has exciting opportunities coming up then this could be for you.

 

This is a permanent full time salaried position with a gradually increasing responsibility as proficiency is gained and the opportunity to build key managerial skills while maintaining a hand in the instructional world. 

Our team lives as far afield as Christchurch and travel up for the week so you can as well. This role has potential to include days working from home.

If you are interested in a stepping up role then this is perfect. If you are interested in the manager role only then get in touch as we have the flexibility to pivot for the right person.

We are looking for someone who is:

• NZOIA L1-2 (or equivalent qualifications/experience) in Bush, Rock, Abseil,

• Ropes Course experience

• 5+ years experience as an outdoor instructor

• A good understanding of current best practice and safety management

• Excellent communication skills and strong interpersonal skills

• Current and valid First Aid Certificate

• Full Driver Licence

​​

We cater mainly for school groups of different ages. We offer tailor-made programmes to suit each client’s needs we need to be flexible to cater for a wide range of activities and programmes. 

​

As a manager you need to be motivated with excellent stakeholder/people skills, and the drive to make a positive difference in young people’s lives. This role gives you the opportunity to be a mentor to others, develop new skills in a supportive environment and have a role tailored to your skill set. 

 

We offer staff ongoing training opportunities, a great working environment and accommodation while working at our centre. All staff are required to be vetted by the New Zealand Police, and be successfully inducted into our Safety Management System.
