Hatteras Community Sailing is growing by leaps and bounds. For 2022 we plan on hosting sailing clinics for Island visitors as well as a full time program with multiple levels for local youth. We are seeking an experienced US SAILING Level 1 Certified Sailing Coach/Instructor. This is the perfect position for a collegiate or post collegiate competitive sailor, but we are open to consider all applicants.

Salary is based on experience and will range from $800 to $1500 per week depending on skills, certifications, and past successful work experience.
Job responsibilities will focus on being the primary instructor for all the junior sailing programs.
