About us:
Nothing equips girls for the future better than Kahunui – our exclusive outdoor education and life skills centre in the Bay of Plenty – offering a unique and transformative experience for all Year 10 girls.
Kahunui is key to a full St Cuthbert’s education and equips every girl with life skills for the real world. Every Year 10 girl spends a month at our Bay of Plenty outdoor campus – a truly transformative experience she will remember forever.
St Cuthbert’s is the only girls’ school to offer a residential life skills outdoor learning programme on a separate campus, which is designed to advance all levels of fitness – social, physical, emotional and intellectual. Our girls emerge with new-found resilience and self-confidence, and a fresh appreciation of their home and family.
About the role:
We are looking for a suitably qualified Outdoor Instructor or teacher with the energy and enthusiasm to lead outdoor induction and training at Kahunui. Our small, dedicated team work together in all areas of the program from preparing students for outdoor excursions, gear maintenance and checks, outdoor education including tramping, sea kayaking and overnight camps to house tutor duties and supervision respectabilities on some morning and nights during each intake.
To be successful in this role, it is essential you have relevant experience, qualifications (ideally in either/both bush and sea kayaking), and the proven ability to mentor and guide both other instructors and young adolescence. Knowledge and experience in risk management and associated paperwork is important, as is the ability to effectively manage your time and consistently create a positive working and learning environment. You will be keen to share your experience to help grow instructors as well as providing a safe and engaging programme for our students.
Also required is a full New Zealand driver’s license or a valid overseas license and the ability to be flexible around work hours and patterns. The ability to support teenagers in an outdoor environment to develop life skills, resilience and skills sets to interact as effective team members is what we are striving for.
This is an exciting opportunity to showcase your skillsets, build and nurture positive working relationships and be part of an amazing journey.
