UPDATE:
We have now filled the main positions for this summer but there may be opportunities for evening shifts (5 to 9 roughly) from Monday to Friday from 9th June to 11h July. Email graham@beventursome.co.uk if this is of interest.
We are looking for a team of Adventure Reps to entertain, excite and look after our school groups in Morzine this summer as they go rafting, trekking, rock climbing and more!
Here is what they get up to:
Dates
Training dates are June 2nd to 4th – these are paid
We have groups from Monday 9th June to July 11th
Ideally you would be free on 5th & 6th April for a First Aid course (not essential)
Rates
From €19 an hour.
You must be registered as an Auto Entrepreneur.
Hours
Start times are between 08:00 and 08:45 till about 17h in Montriond or Morzine. You get paid during your lunch break.
About 3 to 4 evening sessions a week which are 19:45 to 21h.
The job
You’ll be with the pupils all week ensuring they have a fantastic & safe time and are prepared for all the activities (and you’ll be getting stuck in yourself!)
You’ll be supporting them on some activities that are run by our partners (e.g whitewater rafting, kayaking, trekking, rock climbing) and delivering activities such as team building, woodland activities and orienteering yourself. Plenty of training and familarisation will be provided.
Part of the role is delivering our various Adventure Education aims & objectives as well as ensuring all safety procedures are followed.
All groups will also be accompanied by a teacher from the school who takes pastoral responsibility for the groups.
We are also keen to hear from local recent school leavers who are keen to gain paid work experience in the adventure world! Get in touch.
The main prerequisites are:
– Enjoy working with young people between the ages of 12 and 15.
– Have a valid 16-hour first aid certificate (we can help with this if you don’t)
– Be an appropriately registered and insured Micro Entrepreneur
– Enjoy all of the adventure activities!
– Fluent in English
– Have a clear police record check in France (we can help you with this) & a professional reference contact for our Safeguarding procedures.
The ‘nice to haves’ are:
– Know the local area really well
– Worked in the adventure & outdoor education scene (skiing counts!)
– Teaching experience
– Have particular areas of interest or skills that you would be keen to incorporate into the trips, eg Geography, yoga & meditation, ecology, bushcraft skills, photography, French speaker, environmentalism, leadership training etc Any ideas welcome.
To apply:
Please fill out the form below to apply. I am based in Montriond so the next round of the process would probably be a coffee somewhere. Feel free to ask any questions to graham@beventuresome.co.uk. I am still keen to hear from people even if you’re not 100% sure of your plans for the summer yet.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Graham
