Outdoor Education Cadetship Programme

Kickstart your career in outdoor education with hands-on experience, training, and leadership development — all while helping others connect with the outdoors and their Creator.

Grow Your Skills. Grow Your Faith.

Are you passionate about adventure, teamwork, and the great outdoors? The Tui Ridge Park Outdoor Education Cadetship offers an exciting opportunity to develop your skills in a supportive, faith-based environment.

Running from January to December 2026, this full-time programme gives you a year of practical, hands-on experience alongside our experienced outdoor education team.

As a cadet, you’ll help deliver a wide range of activities — from high ropes and archery to mountain biking and team challenges — gaining valuable experience in instruction, group management, and safety systems. You’ll also receive mentoring, leadership training, and the chance to work toward relevant industry qualifications.

Throughout the year, you’ll grow in confidence, develop leadership skills, and deepen your understanding of what it means to serve others through outdoor ministry.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and start your adventure with Tui Ridge Park.
