Now Hiring
CANSail Instructor 1&2, 3&4 or 5
The Port Dover Yacht Club Sailing school has one instructor spot open for the 2019 season.
Our school is big on enthusiasm and has plans for growth once again this year. We are open to hiring a CanSail certified instructor with a variety of levels but has a keen interest in fostering a passion for the sport while having a great time on the water.
We sail out of the Port Dover Harbour Marina in one of the prettiest towns on Lake Erie. We offer competitive salary and compensation dependent on the experience of the sail instructor. Billeting options can be discussed for those from out of the area. Port Dover has been a beacon for cottagers and sun seekers for more than a century. Find out why and make money while you do.
PDYC Sailing School teaches on Picos and Club 420s and has a small but might race team that comes out every Tuesday night and competes at regattas. We teach youth aged 7 to 17 and adults.
Responsibilities: Regular program runs from July 2 until August 16 but we are interested in an instructor who might be able to begin earlier in the season in June to assist in start-up and spring training; direct support to fellow sailing instructors and head coach; liaison with volunteers and parents.
Requirements include:
· CanSail 1&2 and up certification
· 1 year of experience working or volunteering
· VHF radio licence
· Standard First Aid
· PCOC
