JOB DESCRIPTION
China has for 5000 years been cut off from the West and consequently you will find that everything is different here even the simplest things like the way to open a banana (they consider the stalk to be a handle and open from the other end). If you want to come here then come with an open mind, explore and discover these intrinsic cultural differences. It will be completely different to anything you may expect and is full of interesting experiences.
Beijing Sailing Center is the only sailing school in China offering courses to suit anyone following the RYA/BCU guidelines. We are recruiting seasonal and full time watersports instructors. The skills that we seek are dinghy sailing, yachting, kayaking, windsurfing and raft building. Applications from multi-activity instructors will be more successful, especially with regard to year-round positions.
During our summer season from May to October, we are situated close to Beijing, while during our winter season from November to April we relocate to tropical Southern China. Thus enabling our full time staff to skip winters and experience the broadest variety of Chinese cultures.
