Apply on the official government service →No Apprentice League account needed — we never gate applications.

Your primary role will be to support groups and centre staff in our busy and dynamic water sports centre. We will aim to mentor you and develop your skills to become responsible and safety conscious enough to manage your own groups on the water independently.

You must be professional in your nature and uphold Adventure Sunderland's charitable aims and values at all times.
You should be comfortable interacting with schools and youth groups.
The average day at Adventure Sunderland starts with organising equipment stores in preparation for groups arrival.
Meet and greet your group for the day.
During activity times you can expect to be out on the water in all weathers supporting groups and centre staff.
Upon finishing activities re organise all used equipment so it is ready for the next groups arrival.

What your apprenticeship includes:

  • A mixture of face to face and online catch ups every 4 - 6 weeks to discuss feedback and progress
  • A mixture of on and off the job training, including workshops and webinars
  • Reviews every 12 weeks with your Line Manager and apprenticeship Trainer
  • The chance to get Functional Skills in English and maths (if you don’t already have GCSE)

At Adventure Sunderland you will work towards your Community Activator Coach L2 Apprenticeship Qualification over the course of 12-18 Months.

Where it leads

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications in paddle sports.  

Upon gaining qualifications and competence there will be an additional pay rise to reflect the added responsibility of leading groups independently.
