Where an outdoor activities coordinator can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an outdoor activities coordinator already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Outdoor activities coordinators organise and manage work programmes and resources (especially staff) to deliver the organisation’s products and services. They supervise and manage staff. They might train and develop the staff, or the planning and management of this process through others. They are highly aware of their responsibilities towards clients, technical issues, environmental issues, and safety issues. The role of an outdoor animation coordinator/supervisor is often “in the field”, but there may also be aspects of management and administration.

Also known as activities coordinator, sports inclusion coordinator, senior outdoor instructor, activities manager, outdoor activities supervisor, outdoor activities manager.
