CAPTAIN FOR SCOOT FERRIES

Isle of Wight

Salary: TBD
Job Reference: 1927
We’re Scoot Ferries – and we’re a brand new foot passenger ferry service based in Cowes and proudly serving the Isle of Wight. We'll be operating our ferries from early in the day to late at night – 7 days a week, 365 days a year… making crossings to and from the island even easier for Isle of Wight residents, commuters and visitors to the island.

We’re keen to expand our small, friendly Scoot Crew to coincide with the launch of our exciting new routes – Yarmouth to Lymington (now launched), with Cowes to Portsmouth, Cowes to Hamble and Cowes to East Cowes – all planned to start during the next 9 months.

We are looking for people that are experienced in maritime operations with the right personality as well – If you have a great manner about you, with fantastic customer service skills and the ability to build a rapport with your fellow crew then we’d love to hear from you.

Working as part of a small, friendly team on board Scoot’s high-speed craft you should possess the following essential qualifications:

•      RYA Yachtmaster (Power) Commercially Endorsed or
•      MCA Boat Masters Licence Tier 2, level 2 (as a minimum – preference may be given to applicants possessing Officer of the Watch qualifications) with high speed endorsement, passenger endorsement and radar endorsement
•      Full STCW 95 Basic Safety Training
•      ENG-1 MCA approved medical (current or no reason to obtain)
•      VHF DSC radio certificate or higher
•     
In addition, you will:

·         Be experienced within a customer-orientated environment
·         Have excellent communication skills and a friendly manner
·         Have a cool head to be able to deal with any emergency situations
·         Have a reliable means of transport and excellent timekeeping
·         Ideally be an Isle of Wight resident or be prepared to move to the island

No two days at Scoot are the same – you will be expected to work shift patterns from early in the morning until late at night.

We are a small but professional company with a very personal touch!

In return for your commitment and hard work, we provide a competitive salary, commitment to ongoing professional training and a branded staff uniform.
