CHIEF INSTRUCTOR (SAIL OR SAIL & POWER) - £22,000 - £25,000 pa

JOB DESCRIPTION

You will be responsible for delivering RYA practical and shore based courses, workshops, bespoke training, corporate and social events, and will be directly involved with the marketing of both the school and our integrated business. Courses are carried out both on our Beneteau 37 foot training yacht but also across the Beneteau range of our Yachts varying from 32 -43 feet.

We are seeking an ambitious, enthusiastic, energetic and personable YMI, ideally with a marketing background, with excellent communication skills and who will see this opportunity as a long term career move. This is a full time, full commitment opportunity, for someone that wants to be involved at the core of the business. The right person will in due course be offered a Directorship in the company.

You will be expected to build personal professional relationships with our Members, many of whom want to progress their yachting skills from novices to yachtmasters. Much of this training is on a one to one basis. Needless to say you need to be an excellent instructor whose enthusiasm is infectious.

There is a strong overlap between marketing for our training business and for members for our Programme and therefore you will be involved in both. You will be expected to attend our trade shows and Boat Shows and undertake additional marketing activities as well as being responsible for all training on our boats.

Our fleet of yachts are maintained to a very high standard and as Chief Instructor you will also have an overview of the maintenance manager to ensure that the boats are fully coded at all times and suitable for purpose.

You will be expected to travel freely between our office in Lymington and our Solent boat locations, currently Hamble and Lymington.

Please apply below with your full CV and a cover letter setting out what you feel you can bring to this role.

SALARY

In return we are offering a competitive salary in the range of £22,000-25,000, plus bonus payments based on performance, 20 days paid annual leave and the opportunity for progression to Director level within the business.
