I am an enthusiastic outdoor activity instructor who specializes in delivering a diverse range of multi-activity days tailored for various groups. These include school groups, residential programs, young carers, individuals transitioning from care, groups with additional needs, pupil referral units, corporate entities, and private bookings. I derive great satisfaction from observing the personal and skill development of participants. Furthermore, I am committed to continuous improvement and am eager to acquire new skills through practical experience.
I oversee a diverse array of activities, both on-site and off-site, catering to various groups, including school groups, individuals with additional needs, behavioural groups, families, and private or corporate clients.
My responsibilities also include coordinating school and other bookings, acting as the primary point of contact to ensure that staff members are well-informed and liaising with the chief instructor. In addition, I serve as the overnight duty instructor, where I am responsible for supervising dinner and breakfast services for groups residing on-site.
