Paddlesport Instructors - New Recruitment

Jun 23, 2022

The Paddlesport Instructor qualification is aimed at those running taster/starter sessions and short journeys in very sheltered water environments, within the safety management systems of clubs/centres or other organisations. Earlier this year we recruited 17 new tutors to join our network of 26 Paddlesport Instructor Tutors.

We are so pleased to announce that two of these tutors are now working as second members of staff on courses; Emily Hamilton Peach, and Emy McLeod.


Fifteen of the cohort are also working through their action plan and will be joining the workforce soon. We are so very proud of this network and their achievements, here’s what they have to say:

" The Paddlesport Instructor qualification is a great way for people to get started in the outdoor industry. For so many people being an outdoor instructor is an amazing way to spend a summer, forge a career or be an invaluable part of a local club. Being part of those beginning moments for people is really exciting! " - Emily Hamilton-Peach, Paddlesport Instructor Tutor

"It's fantastic to have Emily and Emy join our provider team. They will both bring a lot of experience, energy and fun to the courses they deliver; passing on their wealth of knowledge and skills to the next generation of Paddlesport Instructors" - Lara Cooper, SCA Quality Assurance and Internal Verifier
