Freelance Instructors

Our permanent staff are complimented by a small number of freelance Instructors. Some are full time professionals, and some teach sailing and power boating in their spare time as a second job. Most have been working with us for several years, some since the business started.

While we are not actively looking for new Instructors it is inevitable that we will require new staff from time to time. If you are interested in working with us then you will need as an absolute minimum;

• A friendly and patient approach to instructing.
• Extensive experience in the activity you instruct.
• The appropriate Instructor’s Qualification.
• Experience of instructing sailing, power boating or marine shorebased courses already.
• A reference from at least one other organisation you have taught for (ideally from a RYA Principal).
• An in date First Aid Certificate.
• Agreement to undergo a CRB / ISA check if we require one.
• UK/Euro nationality or appropriate work visa.

We do not generally recruit newly qualified Instructors (unless we have cherry picked them from our own Instructor Training Courses). We prefer Instructors who have some good coaching experience and are now ready to develop further. We look for Instructors who have a genuine background in, and love for their sport gained over many years.

While we have a great respect for those holding RYA/MCA Certificates of Competence (Advanced Powerboat, Yachtmaster Coastal, Offshore & Ocean) and their abilities as skippers we prefer to use skippers who are also RYA Instructors for our charter, corporate and delivery work. This allows us to provide our customers with more experienced and higher qualified staff.
