Job Description
YOUR SUMMER OFFICE COULD BE SYDNEY HARBOUR.
n
SUMMER CREW | KAYAK GUIDES | WATERSPORTS & CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
n
Sydney Harbour Kayaks – The Spit Bridge, Mosman
n
Forget fluorescent lights and sitting behind a desk all summer.
n
Sydney Harbour Kayaks is building our Summer ******* team, and we're looking for energetic, capable people who want to work outdoors, meet people from around the world and spend their summer around one of Sydney's most spectacular waterways.
n
We're especially keen to hear from experienced paddlers, qualified sea kayak guides and outdoor instructors — but we also have opportunities for enthusiastic people with solid customer service, tourism, hospitality or watersports experience.
n
WHO ARE WE?
n
Sydney Harbour Kayaks has been part of Sydney's paddling scene since **** and is proudly recognised in the NSW Tourism Hall of Fame.
n
Our home is right on the water at The Spit, Mosman, where we've created a workplace that is active, social, outdoors and genuinely fun to be part of.
n
This isn't a job where you'll spend your summer sitting behind a desk. You'll be working beside the harbour, meeting people from around Australia and the world, staying active and being part of a team that loves what we do.
n
We take great customer experiences and on-water safety seriously — but we also believe a great workplace should be healthy, positive and enjoyable.
n
Summer at The Spit is busy, energetic, social and rarely the same two days in a row.
n
WHAT COULD YOU BE DOING?
n
Depending on your experience and qualifications, your day could include:
n
n
Setting customers up for a kayaking adventure
n
Working with our premium kayak and surfski fleet
n
Helping run kayak rentals, lessons and tours
n
Guiding visitors through beautiful Middle Harbour
n
Running Paddle Polo and group activities
n
Working with schools and corporate groups
n
Providing paddling and safety instruction
n




Taking bookings and helping customers in our waterfront shop
n
Preparing and maintaining equipment
n
Helping create the kind of experience people remember long after their Sydney holiday is over
n
n
This is not purely an office job and it isn't purely a guiding job.
n
We want people who are happy talking to customers one minute, moving kayaks on the beach the next, and getting on the water when required.
n
PADDLERS – WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
n
If you're already an experienced sea kayaker, kayak instructor or qualified guide, tell us about it.
n
We are particularly interested in applicants with:
n
n
Sea kayak guiding or instructional qualifications
n
Strong sea kayaking or paddlesports experience
n
Outdoor Recreation / Outdoor Leadership qualifications
n
First Aid
n
NSW Boat Licence
n
Working With Children Check
n
Experience working with school or adventure groups
n
n
International qualifications and experience are also very welcome.
n
NOT A QUALIFIED GUIDE?
n
Don't rule yourself out.
n
Some of our summer positions are shore-based and customer-focused, and the right attitude, work ethic and confidence around the water matter enormously.
n
If you have good paddling skills and the right aptitude, there may also be opportunities to develop your kayaking and guiding experience with us.
n
THE IMPORTANT STUFF
n
These are casual summer positions, with roles commencing progressively through September and into the warmer months.
n
Our busiest period runs through spring and summer, with shifts generally available Wednesday to Sunday, including weekends, school holidays and peak tourism periods.
n
Applicants must be physically capable of working outdoors and handling kayaks and watersports equipment.
n
You will need appropriate Australian working rights and should clearly include your visa status and availability in your application if applicable.
