It's YOU we need!
Leader Group is proud to be recruiting on behalf of one of our valued clients for an exciting new outdoor education initiative-and we're looking for passionate, skilled instructors to join their growing team.
Do you love the idea of working long-term with small groups of young people, building meaningful relationships and delivering unforgettable outdoor experiences? Do you thrive in variety, travel, and the freedom of working at a different venue each day? If so, this could be your next great adventure.
About the Role

Our client is rolling out a mobile outdoor education programme across schools and children's homes within their organisation. As a Mobile Outdoor Education Instructor, you'll deliver a wide range of outdoor educational activities throughout the Sussex region. This is a full-time, year-round position offering real opportunity for personal and professional development.
Unlike traditional centre-based roles, you'll work with the same groups over time-helping them build confidence, skills, and a deeper connection to the outdoors.
Who We're Looking For
You'll be:
  • Passionate about outdoor learning and able to inspire others.
  • Qualified and experienced in a variety of outdoor activities (see list below).
  • Flexible and self-motivated, thriving in a mobile role with daily variety.
  • A strong communicator, capable of managing groups in dynamic settings.
  • Dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on young people's lives.
Previous experience in a similar role is desirable, but we welcome applicants with the right attitude, enthusiasm, and relevant skills.
What's in it for you?
Progressive pay scale - gain more qualifications, increase your salary
Access to training and development, including QTS and national governing body awards
33 days paid annual leave (25 days + bank holidays)
Company pension scheme
HAPI App - wellbeing support, employee assistance, and retail discounts
Social events & access to outdoor equipment
Career development across the client organisation and its partners
£500 referral bonus - split with a friend when they join!
Required Qualifications - you must hold at least TWO of the following:
  • RCI or CWI (or relevant ropes-based qualification)
  • ML or HML Award (or equivalent)
  • Mountain Bike Leader/Instructor
  • Paddle UK Instructor/Coach
  • RYA Instructor
  • DofE Assessor
  • Archery GB Instructor
  • Bushcraft Practitioner
  • Valid First Aid Certificate
Safeguarding
An enhanced DBS check with child and adult barred lists is required for this role. If you do not currently hold one, we can support you through the process.
Ready to Start Your Adventure?
If you're ready to make a lasting difference through outdoor learning, we want to hear from you. Apply today and help shape a brighter, wilder future for young people across Sussex.
