Paid Leadership Opportunities

Personal Best Education (a part of the Mountbatten School in Romsey) is pleased to share the following paid opportunities to work with groups of young adults in Hampshire, on a ā€˜National Citizen Serviceā€™ course where they develop their potential through leadership, physical education and sport.

During the Autumn Programme, we require leaders to accompany a group of 15 young people (aged between 16-17) for 4 days to our Activity site in Croyde, Devon. There, with another leader, and under the supervision of a senior leader, you will supervise the teams through a variety of high octane activities, designed to enhance their team building skills. These will includes activities such as coasteering, total wipe out, laser quest, high rope challenges and mountain boarding.

Transportation from our pick up site at Wide Lane, opposite Southampton Parkway, to Croyde is arrange, and your food, accommodation and relevant kit is all provided. You will then be transported back to Norman Court School, based in West Thytherley, just outside of Romsey.

For 3 days you will supervise the young people through a series of independent living workshops, designed to enhance their life skills, such as cooking, financial management. The young people have to deliver a social action project designed to help a local charity, and the workshops help them to come up with ideas on how to do this. The pay for this week is Ā£250.

The following ā€˜Wavesā€™ are three separate courses, which are as follows:

Wave 1: 3rd to 9th October, with the Social Action Project (SAP) happening between Ā 19th ā€“ 23rd October (The SAP is based at Basingstoke College of Technology)
