Careers
At The Kitesurf Centre, we're always looking for passionate, motivated people to join our team. Based directly on the beach at Camber Sands, just one hour from London, we run one of the UK's busiest and most established watersports centres.
Work With Us
Since 2007, we've built a reputation not just as a kitesurf school, but as a destination — a place where people come to learn, progress, work, and be part of a real watersports community.
If you love the ocean, enjoy teaching or working with people, and want a lifestyle that revolves around wind and water, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Work With Us?
Working at The Kitesurf Centre is more than just a job — it's a lifestyle. You'll be part of a team delivering world-class watersports experiences in one of the best learning environments in the UK, with some of the most consistent wind conditions and beaches suitable for all wind directions. We offer a dynamic, outdoor working environment where no two days are the same.
Our team benefits from:
– A beachfront workplace on the UK's leading kitesurfing beach
– A strong, established watersports community
– Access to kitesurfing, wingfoiling and watersports equipment
– Opportunities for training and progression
– A supportive, experienced team environment
Current Job Roles
We offer a range of seasonal, part-time and full-time roles across both our school and retail operations.
Kitesurf & Watersports Instructors — we are always looking for qualified instructors to join our teaching team. You'll be teaching a range of watersports including kitesurfing, wingfoiling, kite buggying and stand-up paddleboarding. We teach 7 days a week during the season and, due to our strong wind reliability and dual-beach setup (Camber Sands and Greatstone), we are one of the busiest schools in the UK. We also welcome instructors looking for seasonal or flexible work during peak periods.
Requirements: BKSA or IKO instructor qualification; first aid certification; strong passion for watersports; ability to work in changing coastal conditions; RYA Powerboat licence (preferred).
Trainee Instructor & Career Pathway — if you're not yet qualified but want to build a career in watersports, we offer structured training pathways to help you progress, taking you from complete beginner to qualified instructor through structured training, experience and mentoring. Ideal for gap year candidates, career changers, and watersports enthusiasts looking to progress.
Shop & Customer Experience Roles — our beachfront shop is a key part of the centre, offering expert advice and equipment sales to customers from the UK and around the world. We're looking for people who enjoy customer interaction, have an interest in watersports equipment, can work in a fast-paced retail environment, and are organised and proactive. Experience in retail or customer service is beneficial.
Booking & Office Roles — our office team manages bookings, enquiries, scheduling and customer support for hundreds of students each week. You'll be part of the operational core of the centre, helping ensure every customer has a smooth experience from booking through to their lesson. Key responsibilities include handling customer enquiries, managing bookings and schedules, supporting instructors and operations, and providing excellent customer service.
Trainee & Apprenticeship Opportunities
Each season we take on a limited number of trainees and apprentices who are passionate about watersports. This is a hands-on role designed to build real experience in watersports instruction, customer service, beach operations, and equipment handling and safety.
If you're motivated, enthusiastic and want to build a career in the industry, we want to hear from you.

We're not just hiring skills — we're hiring attitude. The people who thrive here are:
– Passionate about watersports and the outdoors
– Positive, proactive and reliable
– Comfortable working in changing weather conditions
– Team players who enjoy a community environment
– Eager to learn and progress
Life at The Kitesurf Centre
Our centre is more than a workplace — it's a hub for the UK kitesurfing community. From lessons and rentals to events, memberships and social sessions, there's always something happening on and off the water.
Many of our team members come back season after season, building long-term careers in the watersports industry. Whether you're an experienced instructor, looking for your first role in the industry, or wanting a seasonal job by the beach, The Kitesurf Centre offers a unique opportunity to live and work in one of the UK's best watersports locations.
