The Trust’s Christchurch base operates throughout the South Island with programmes involving sea and river kayaking, rafting, tramping and alpine trips, also skiing, caving, rock climbing, and cycling. All programmes involve facilitated learning and are tailored to the specific needs of a variety of client groups (such as schools, youth development agencies and family counselling programmes).
We are looking for applicants with a Christian commitment and philosophy compatible with the Trust’s philosophy and objectives.
Applicants will have;
• One or more NZOIA awards (preferably Kayak 1)

• Developing programmes and resources specific to clients needs
• Instructing and facilitating all aspects of programmes
• Coordinating the work of contract staff on programmes
• Assisting in the development of less qualified staff
Adventure Specialties Trust is committed to the ongoing training and development of its staff. Successful applicants will be required to undertake training toward NZOIA and other relevant assessments. The position involves significant time away from base and requires a commitment of three years due to the training and investment involved. For more information go to www.adventurespecialties.co.nz
