Outdoor Jobs and training with Robinwood
Outdoor Activity Instructor Jobs
If you're interested in a job which lets you work in the outdoors, then Robinwood offers fantastic employment opportunities at two UK centres. We employ adventure activity instructors who work as group leaders, looking after groups of 8 to 11 year olds whilst they take part in a range of fantastic activities. The outdoor jobs that Robinwood offers can give you a wonderful lifestyle; it is definitely not a nine to five job, but you do still get plenty of time off which can be spent canoeing, climbing or taking part in other adventure activities with members of the Robinwood team.
Adventure activity instructor training
We have an outstanding training programme, which provides the opportunity for all staff to develop and progress whilst working at Robinwood:
- If you are an experienced adventure activity instructor; our outdoor jobs can provide the opportunity for you to progress further with national governing body training and awards.
- If this would be your first work in the outdoors; as long as you have some experience working with children, an interest in adventure activities, the right personal qualities and commitment, we can provide all the training you need, to become an excellent adventure activity instructor.
Our adventure activity instructor staff team are central to our success
Thousands of visiting teachers tell us that the quality of our staff team is the key reason why they return to Robinwood year after year.

We had a fantastic time! As a teacher, it is quite a responsibility taking away a group of children, but it is made so much easier by the fact that Robinwood staff immediately take on a shared responsibility for our childern. Your care and guidance of them is second to none and we felt completely confident that they were safe and looked after at all times. The course is brilliant, there isn't a moment when the children aren't occupied, which is great as this helps maintain good behaviour. Thank you very much for a fabulous three days. We cannot recommend your centre highly enough. Every member of staff comes across as being extremely proud of their place of work, and rightly so.
