What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-time Outdoor Program Director position at Milton Academy?
Position Overview:
The Director oversees all aspects of the Program as outlined above and in the Essential Functions and Responsibilities and Competencies section below.
The ideal candidate will be a certified AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (or higher) and/or hold an ACA paddling certification and hold a WFA or WFR certification. The candidate will have previous experience leading wilderness trips, ideally with youth groups, have a wide range of outdoor skills, enjoy working with teenagers, and have a good sense of humor. We seek individuals who are flexible and are enthusiastic about working in a complex, academically rigorous boarding school.
We recognize that many applicants may not have the entire outdoor skill set outlined above or the combination of academic teaching and outdoor education experience. We seek either an individual who is well rounded in the outdoors OR an individual who has a high level of expertise in one area (climbing or paddling, for example) and the knowledge base to partner with adjuncts or contract guides for areas in which the individual has less expertise. Above all we seek a person who is passionate about the outdoors and about sharing that passion with students.
