Staff Skipper - paid full-time post
Our wonderful Staff Skipper James Boyce has exciting plans for a voyage to the Antarctic and sadly therefore will be leaving us at some point during the 2012 season. This means that OYT South is looking for an outstanding new Staff Skipper, and we are announcing this early because we are keen to give ourselves every opportunity to meet the right person and give the best candidates a chance to sail in John Laing before James leaves. There is a detailed job description here but we are looking for someone with a background in sail training, with a commitment to excellence and to delivering high-quality, safe sail training voyages. You should be a Cruising Instructor or capable of achieving that qualification before appointment, and you must have a minimum of 15,000 miles logged offshore, a Commercial Endorsement and an ENG1 medical. Start date may be negotiable. If you want to discuss this further, please contact our Chief Executive Mark Todd on 07771 771864 or marktodd@oytsouth.org.

Core refit team members - volunteers
The Trust needs at least two volunteers to work full-time on our winter refits between November and March each year, either for the whole refit or for a minimum of a month at a time. Core team places have currently been filled for the period November 2011-March 2012, but we still need volunteers for shorter periods; we'll need a new core team from November 2012 - March 2013; and if you would have been interested in the 2011-12 core team, do drop us a line anyway - it's always possible that someone on the current core team will be offered paid work elsewhere, or will have to drop out for other reasons, so we can keep a reserve list in mind. More details about volunteer roles here. Closing date: ongoing.
