Working Hours:

A Sport and Activity Instructor is required to work 22 sessions per fortnight based on a six-day working week. A session is defined as a morning/ afternoon activity, an evening activity or a half-day excursion (a full-day excursion is two sessions). Generally, a session includes a half-hour break. Airport transfers may be considered as one or two sessions depending on the duration. In some centres sports and activities may take place at weekends and it may be necessary for SAIs to work on six consecutive days.

Sample Rota
