The centre operates with a large variety of groups including schools, community groups, corporates and individuals. The centre runs both land and water based activities including Stand Up Paddleboarding, guided kayak tours, archery, Axe throwing, bushcraft and much more.
We are looking for someone who has the passion and enthusiasm to help us deliver to our high standards and activities. Previous experience working with Additional Support Needs groups is desirable but not essential.

Taking on the role of Duty Manager in the absence of the Management Team, coordinating the instructor team and completing open / close of the centre.
