Overview
We are an award-winning provider of first aid training courses, and qualifications in the South West of England and Southern Wales.

- Deliver hands-on training and theoretical knowledge through the use of our Powerpoints, and practical activities (both in side and outside)
- Assess student performance and provide constructive feedback.
- Register and sign off students in line with our protocols
- Drive to various training locations as required.
Mandatory Requirements:
- Previous work experience of outdoor recreational instructing, or other relevant experience in remote locations
- Level 3 Teaching and Education Teaching qualification (this can be completed during probationary training with us)
- Full UK driving licence and access to own vehicle
- A passion for first aid and the outdoors
Desirable
- Previous teaching experience (though not necessarily in first aid)
