We are offering an exciting training scheme opportunity, aimed at helping those seeking a career in the outdoor sector.

With an expected start date of 01 April 2017, this is a one year traineeship ending in April 2018 and offers the opportunity to the successful candidates to participate in a range of outdoor training courses throughout the duration of the programme. These range from introductory courses to Mountain Leader (Summer), SPA, UKCC Paddlesports level 1, British Cycling Mountain Bike Leader award level 2. British Canoe Union star awards and Velotech bike maintenance awards. During the winter seasons you will be able to get started working towards Mountain Leader winter.

In return for this opportunity, sportscotland expects the successful candidates to contribute to the successful operation of the centre, primarily fulfilling the role of centre assistant supporting the in-house catering and house team.
