Apprentice Outdoor Activity Lea green (2 Posts)

Love the Outdoors? Start your journey as an outdoor instructor with us!

We are looking for apprentices to join Lea Green Development Centre where we provide high quality outdoor education to visitors to our fabulous house and grounds near Matlock in Derbyshire.

You will learn and develop the necessary skills to assist in the delivery of safe, high quality outdoor education for children, young people & adults, whilst working towards a Level 3 Outdoor Activity Instructor qualification.

You should be enthusiastic, honest, adaptable with a love of outdoor adventurous activities. You should show clear commitment to improving personal skill in activities and working towards coaching awards. You should be flexible and adaptable – you are as likely to be changing beds or washing up as you are on the high ropes course or paddleboarding!

If you are a team player and have great customer service skills we would love to hear from you.

For more information or an informal chat please contact me at the centre 01629 534561 | gary.noble@derbyshire.gov.uk
