4 days ago


Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand Ruapehu Alpine Lifts Full time

The Whakapapa whānau are a small but ambitious team, running year-round operations on the northern slopes of Mt Ruapehu. In winter, from June until October, this includes a world-class ski area. In summer, from December until April, this includes our summer sightseeing operation, heroing our iconic Sky Waka gondola. Each year we welcome hundreds of thousands of manuhiri (guests) to Whakapapa, many with life-long connections to the maunga (mountain) and surrounding region, some even third or fourth generation.
- Mō te tūnga | About the role_

We are seeking a range of NZ Level 1 and 2 (or overseas equivalent) ski and snowboard instructors to join our Snow School team at Whakapapa.

Our Snow School Instructors bring their passion for the snow sports industry and their riding skills to our manuhiri (guests) through providing group and private lessons. Support us to build passion and talent in the snow sports industry, all whilst enjoying a winter on the slopes of Mt Ruapehu in the iconic Tongariro National Park.

As a member of the team at Whakapapa, you will create an empowering learning experience that keeps our manuhiri (guests) coming back and enjoying this winter playground year in and year out.

No two days at Whakapapa are the same, so you will need to adapt on a daily basis using sound teaching techniques. You can expect that you will:

- Make sure our guests have loads of fun
- Consistently meet the minimum teaching standards required by the qualification held.
- Be a source of knowledge on our products and services, and provide efficient, polite and professional service to all guests, and
- Have fun while doing it

We are seeking interest for casual, part-time and full-time employees for this seasonal opportunity (June to October). Note - part-time employees would be rostered 8-30 hours per week, and full-time 30 plus hours per week (Monday to Sunday).
- Ngā pūkenga me ngā wheako ōu | Your skills and experience_

As an instructor, you will bring:

- NZSIA/SBINZ Qualification (or international equivalent)
- Ability to obtain a clear New Zealand Police Vetting check
- Commitment to great guest service
- Ability to build effective teaching and working relationships with a wide range of people
- An ability to respond in a positive and proactive manner to feedback
- Maintain an approachable and co-operative persona with co-workers and guests
- A tolerance for uncertain market and weather conditions (particularly the weather conditions)
- A flexible approach to rosters, guest needs and the direction of the organisation
- A positive, fun and happy personality

- Exclusive food and beverage, and retail discounts, for use in Whakapapa's cafes and store
- Guaranteed base hours for all full-time and part-time staff
- Priority access and discounts to our on-mountain medical centre services

Your Whakapapa whānau experience is not just a job: you will build lifelong memories and experiences in one of the most beautiful and culturally significant places on earth
