UKSA Schools and Groups Manager, permanent - full time position

We are looking for a Schools and Groups manager to join our team, working across our waterside campus, providing support to our schools, groups and programming team. This is an exciting role with significant opportunities to develop leadership skills and shape the delivery of key services in a future-focused maritime academy that is committed to providing an outstanding experience for all our schools and youth groups.

About UKSA

For over 30 years we have been helping children take their first steps on the water, launching careers, pushing personal training development with world-class training and offering transformational opportunities as a leading youth charity.

We provide adventures for 8,000 children and train over 1,500 professional career students to work within the growing global maritime sector each year. We support our students to believe in themselves by providing a hand up not a handout. Our professional education, mentoring and training pathways create exciting long-term maritime career opportunities empowering our students to succeed for themselves, their communities and society.

Our aim is to remove both financial and social barriers to enable students from any background to be able to access UKSA programmes. We want them to achieve their best and gain life-changing experiences, qualifications and careers.

In 2019 /20 we welcomed over 8,000 children and their leaders from 130 schools and groups across the UK. Our water-based programmes are designed to increase children's life and leadership skills, build confidence and encourage teamwork with their peers. For many, UKSA is their first experience of the sea and being away from home.

Our world-class professional training and further education courses provide an alternative to university, we provide vocational training and qualifications to gain a career in the Maritime industry. We are also widely recognised throughout the world for our MCA and RYA training courses and are one of the world's top providers of MCA yachting certificates.

As a charity, we do much more than deliver training and certification. We also offer a range of development programmes that help transform the lives of those from the most deprived areas of the UK.
