69Nord Sommarøy Outdoor Center recruits independent guides on request to supervise the weekly Hobie summer kayaking trips

 

JOB DEFINITION


You will supervise our Hobie kayak trips designed for groups of 8 people over one or two weeks. Your arrival will be two or three days before the arrival of the group to be able to do the shopping and prepare the equipment. The same goes for your departure so that the equipment used is checked, cleaned, rinsed and dried to be stored cleanly.
This position with occasional missions is ideal for teachers on summer holidays who have the necessary diplomas to supervise the activities offered in our Hobie kayaks trips and who may be covered by civil liability.
Groups of 8 people usually book a few months in advance. We will let you know the dates immediately to check your availability for the period.

DESIRED GUIDE PROFILE

You have the desired profile if you:

  • Have good experience of the sea, sailing, trips on the wild, tent bivouac and outdoor life.
  • Know how to manage a group independently for several days in difficult conditions (cold, wind, rain, humidity).
  • Enjoy walking and are able to design a hike by reading a map and observing the terrain.
  • Nature (fauna, flora, geology) inspires you and makes you want to know it better.
  • You are attentive to the environment and make sure to preserve it as much as possible.
  • Have a sense of service, team and sharing.
  • You are also independent and know how to take initiative when necessary.
  • You know how to tinker and you are committed to the maintenance of the equipment at your disposal.
  • Have a sense of responsibility.
  • Are committed to follow the safety instructions and stick to the definition of outdoor products as designed by 69Nord®
  • You can easily adapt to an existing structure.
  • Love teamwork, you do what you say and say what you do.
  • Understand and express yourself correctly in English.

If you do not recognize yourself in this profile, please do not apply. Northern Norway can be austere and wild even in the middle of summer.

The acquisition of the specificities of the outdoors in high latitudes is only serene if the fundamentals are solid.

Cover letter
CV
