Watersports Instructors

GLL is looking for Watersports Instructors based at Stanborough Park Water Sports Centre in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. Stanborough Park has been providing sailing since 1969 and is a Paddle UK and RYA Training Centre, offering courses, group sessions and practice sessions to adults and children, where you’ll join the Watersports Team in delivering these.

As a NGB Qualified Instructor, you’ll be required to run high quality watersports sessions, set up and pack down the equipment at the start and end of each day, ensuring the health and safety of staff and customers, guaranteeing the highest standards of service. Working with a team of Watersports Instructors on a daily basis means you’ll need to have a positive attitude.

You’ll have a real passion for watersports and must hold either a RYA Dinghy Instructor certificate, RYA Powerboat Level 2, Paddle UK Paddlesports Instructor or higher. There is the scope for unqualified candidates to gain qualifications with the centre (if you have the relevant experience). Flexibility, punctuality and reliability are just as important as integrity, a can-do attitude and a real focus on customer service. Passion and personality will stand you in good stead too.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
