Kielder Waterside is on the lookout for a ferry master.

The permanent role encompasses 37 hours per week and focuses on managing daily ferry operations, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, and vessel maintenance.

Candidates must demonstrate "technical competence to run ferry services," in accordance with maritime and Coastguard Agency standards, with an in-date Boat Master Licence and STCW certification.

Applicants will also need "solid practical abilities and confidence using technology such as Microsoft Office, mobile devices and radios."

Experience with watercraft, first aid, booking systems or activity programming is deemed helpful, but not essential.

The advertised salary ranges from £26,605 to £31,300.
