The North Wales Outdoor Education Service is looking to appoint enthusiastic trainees, to begin in September 2025 at Pentrellyncymer Centre, and at Nant Bwlch yr Haearn (Nant BH) Centre in either September or January. The Centres form part of the North Wales Outdoor Education Service for the six North Wales local authorities. The Centres deliver a range of residential and day outdoor education courses for mostly primary, and some secondary, aged students.
If you are already enthusiastic about the outdoors with experience of outdoor activities, over 18 years of age, and interested in a career in the outdoors working with young people, then this could be for you. You will gain valuable experience working alongside our experienced outdoor staff team. We’ll ensure you receive National Governing Body Award training and / or assessment in relevant activities, along with guidance to improve your skills and work towards accreditation for RPIOL. At the end of the placement you will have gained valuable experience of Outdoor Education and a good knowledge of venues in North Wales and will be ready to move on to the next stage in your career.
During the placement we will provide you with cottage accommodation, food, a small monthly income, and most school holidays off. If you have gained enough experience and qualifications there is the potential opportunity to work as a paid instructor at the Centres towards the end of the placement. In return we’ll expect you to act in a professional manner and to take every opportunity to make the most of your time with us.
