The Irish National Sailing School (INSS) announced its Autumn recruitment campaign today. Following buoyant interest in its weekday school programmes for primary and secondary students, the INSS team needs to be increased.

Part Time Roles: Dinghy Instructors - September and October

The positions are ideal for college students studying in Dublin, as they’ll be able to fit sessions around their lecture timetables. The INSS team is focusing, in particular, on Dinghy Instructors for their weekday school programmes and powerboat instructors for weekend courses.
Speaking as the recruitment campaign got underway, Chief Instructor Kenneth Rumball described one key point for instructors thinking of coming on board: “Instructors will have the benefit of a full-time admin and operations support team, allowing instructors to focus on what they do best—the teaching,” according to Principal Kenneth Rumball.

Full information on the weekday instructor roles can be found here.

Glyn Williams is available for enquiries and submissions of CVs on [email protected].

Full Time Roles: Watersports Instructors

Separately the school is now seeking interested people for new full time positions focussed on delivering water sports tuition. The roles are full-time, 5-day a week positions on a year round contract. Glyn Williams describes the variety of instructors being looked for “our objective is getting everyone afloat, be it on a paddleboard or yacht, dinghy of powerboat or anything in between. We’re looking to speak to instructors of all disciplines about several new full-time positions starting this Winter/Spring”.

Further Roles

The INSS reports a series of part-time / contract roles in powerboating, keelboat and other disciplines and urges any instructor to get in touch. Separately, the school will be announcing a series of supported training programmes for adults of all ages to convert existing sailing skills in dinghies and keelboats, or on powerboats, into instructor qualifications for an active retirement, change of career or just something extra to do at the weekend.

History of the INSS

Set up by Alistair Rumball in 1978, the sailing school had very humble beginnings, with the original clubhouse situated on the first floor of what is now a charity shop on Dun Laoghaire's main street. Through the late 1970s and 1980s, the business began to establish a foothold, and Alistair's late brother Arthur set up the chandler Viking Marine during this period, which he ran until selling on to its present owners in 1999.

In 1991, the Irish National Sailing School relocated to its current premises at the foot of the West Pier. Throughout the 1990s the business continued to build on its reputation and became the training institution of choice for budding sailors. The 2000s saw the business break barriers - firstly by introducing more people to the water than any other organisation, and secondly pioneering low-cost course fees, thereby rubbishing the assertion that sailing is an expensive sport.
