Instructor and Group Host
(Full Time)
Are you ready to guide our guests on life changing experiences?
About us:
At Tōtara Springs Christian Centre (TSCC), we believe in practically demonstrating the love and compassion of Jesus through providing excellence in everything that we do. Our gifted and motivated team has the privilege of creating unforgettable memories for groups of people all year round.
You will contribute to the present and future culture of our amazing organisation and share God's love. This is an opportunity to join an organisation that lead and inspire the youth of tomorrow, a place where life-changing experiences happen every day.
Tōtara Springs is one of the largest centres of its kind in New Zealand and is the ultimate venue for church retreats, school camps, sports activities, business conferences, artistic events, holiday camps and family reunions. We are situated in a beautiful setting, nestled at the foot of the Kaimai mountain ranges in Matamata. There are 90 acres of park-like grounds and native bush with streams, walks and bush trails. We have a large indoor sports and activity centre and breakaway areas, as well as a large hot pool fed by natural springs. We have guests of all ages who travel from afar to enjoy our beautiful setting and outstanding hospitality.
About the role:
As part of a team dedicated to hosting and leading our guests on outdoor activities, sports games and team building sessions, you will be an outdoors enthusiast, interested in teaching others on how to enjoy our activities safely. At Tōtara Springs Christian Centre we provide outstanding hospitality, creating life-changing experiences, and sharing God’s love is Our Mission.
Catering for a wide range of guests, our groups can differ from one day to the next. We host school groups, sports camps, businesses and community groups. Hosting can have its challenges, the weather can change and other surprises can occur, requiring you to think on your feet and work with others to come up with a Plan B or C to fit for your group’s needs. As their host you are making sure the event runs smoothly and on time so the rest of the TSCC team operates like a well-oiled machine in the background.
About you:
To our guests, you are the face of the camp. Your people skills and confidence speaking in public will be second to none. Our activities are designed to put others outside of their comfort zone.
Health and safety of our guests and team are the utmost priority. The details matter - ‘do it once and check twice’ mentality is a must. We are forever reviewing, checking and maintaining our facilities and activities (indoors and outdoors). After our guests go home to reflect their life-changing experience, you will help with the cleaning and get the site ready for the next exciting group while reflecting on those memories you help create for others.
