CAREERS AT OB
KAIAKO | INSTRUCTORS
Outward Bound NZ inspires personal and social development through value-based experiential learning in the outdoors. Our instructors are key to delivering high-quality courses. Working in pairs, you’ll lead a ‘watch’ of 14 students through tramping, sailing, kayaking, rock climbing, and high ropes – safely managing activities while fostering personal growth.
More than technical skills, this role requires exceptional people skills. You’ll create a supportive environment, challenge students beyond their comfort zones, and facilitate meaningful learning based on our kaupapa. If you’re ready for a career that’s both challenging and deeply rewarding, this could be your next adventure.
CHECK OUT OUR WĀHINE DEVELOPMENT COURSE!
Right now, wāhine are underrepresented in our instructional team, and we’re committed to changing that so our team better reflects the communities we serve. This 5-day course supports a strong pathway for wāhine to move into kaiako roles here. While this taster course is designed with prospective wāhine kaiako in mind, we warmly welcome applications from people of all gender identities and expressions.
