Our Bike Guides are required to be qualified MIAS Level 1 or 2 Bike Leader or equivalent. Our Bike Team are passionate about cycling, energetic and requires a high level of personal fitness to guide extensive rides daily.
As a Neilson Bike Guide, you will ensure that anyone wishing to join our rides has a safe and enjoyable time. You will also provide support, advice and local knowledge to guests wanting to free-ride utilising the pre-set Strava routes.
You will deliver a varied weekly cycling programme that is always safe, fun, and precisely tailored to your guests. You will interact with individuals from all walks of life at varying fitness levels, enabling you to inspire and continually expand your personal experience.
In addition to your regular guiding duties, you will also work closely with our Children's Activity Leaders to run kids' sessions introducing younger riders to the sport.
Ideally, we're looking for full-season staff from April to early November. We will consider candidates with shorter availability dates, but operationally, those with a combination of the best dates and qualifications will always take preference.
Working for Neilson is more than a job; it's a lifestyle. Spend the summer season based in one of our beautiful beach club resorts, where it's all about sharing your passion for the activities you love. You'll be working hard, but the work is fun, and there's always plenty of time to play.
We're looking for friendly, energetic, and approachable people who can build rapport with ease. Individuals who can instil confidence that every element of a Neilson holiday is delivered by a team who cares.
