Love surfing? Love helping people?

At The Surf Shuttle (TSS), we believe the ocean is more than just a playground. It's a powerful space for healing, growth, and connection. We’re on a mission to share that with as many people as possible, especially kids and adults who may not otherwise have easy access to it.

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes the ocean lifestyle and wants to make a genuine difference in people’s lives...through the power of the surf!

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer, ocean lifeguard, or someone who just can’t stay out of the water, this role is for those who want to spend their days doing meaningful work alongside a small team of equally passionate surf facilitators!

Why you'll love working with TSS:

• Flexible scheduling to accommodate a second job/uni/lifestyle with 10-15 hrs of work per week, and opportunity for more hours as you get more experienced!
• $30–$35/hr weekdays | $40-$45+/hr weekends
• Fuel and travel allowance
• Local surf brand discounts
• Team bonding surf sessions (filmed!) and more
• Get paid to go surfing with small groups of kids, and even sneak a couple waves yourself!

The role itself involves:

• Pick up small groups (4–7 kids) and shuttle them to the beach.
• Read the ocean conditions and choose safe, fun surf spots.
• Run inclusive, relaxed group surf sessions in the mornings before school (6:30am-8:30am), and afternoons post-school (3-6).
• Provide 1:1 ocean-based mentorship for adults with autism or mental health challenges during the day.
• Support a community you already value, and encourage the next generation of surfers, inclusion, and access to the ocean!

You’d be a great fit if you:

• Are confident in the surf and tuned in to ocean safety.
• Have experience working with kids, people with disabilities, or in mentorship roles.
• Are a natural leader, reliable, kind, and communicative, a team player with a calm presence.
• Have a full driver’s license, clean record, and your own vehicle.

Bonus points for:

• Surf instructor accreditation.
• Local knowledge of Northern Beaches or Lower North Shore.
• Owning a 5–8 seater vehicle.

Requirements:

• 1+ year experience working with children or people with disabilities.
• Working With Children Check (or willingness to get one).
• First Aid certification (or willingness to get one).
• Afternoon availability for minimum 2 days a week.

This is more than a casual job. It’s a calling for someone who wants to give back, share their love of the ocean, and inspire others through waves, saltwater, and connection.

Apply now and let’s ride waves together.
