Join our seasonal team in 2022 for a rewarding and memorable summer.

We’re looking for enthusiastic and motivated team members, who love working with young people and in the outdoors.  As a Seasonal Instructor with Essex Outdoors, you’ll run a wide variety of outdoor activities for our diverse range of customers. From Problem Solving and Archery through to Sailing, Paddlesport and Climbing, there is plenty to keep everyone busy.  What's more, we also have staff residential options available at some of our centres!

Year-on-year we have staff that come back to work another season with us and from time-to-time career opportunities do become available. To start with we offer a range of flexible fixed term contracts that vary between 4, 6, 8 and 10 months in duration.

An early application is advised so you can rest assured that your summer employment is sorted!

Training and qualifications

You don’t need to have prior experience as an instructor to come and work for us.  We’ll provide all the training you need to be a productive and valued member of our team. Some staff also get the benefit of completing nationally recognised qualifications with us. 

This means that you could end the season with a Powerboat certificate or a qualification in climbing or paddling depending on what ‘floats your boat’
