BE PART OF DELIVERING ATLANTIC EXPERIENCES 

UWC Atlantic is at the heart of a powerful global movement and at the vanguard of progressive education worldwide.  We are proud to be a part of the UWC family of 18 schools and colleges worldwide – and for our courage to champion the values, ideas and aspirations in which we all believe.  We are driven by the UWC mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.  It drives everything we do.

Atlantic Experience will play a key part of our exciting and ambitious strategy to reclaim our position as the Flagship College of the UWC movement, recognised for the radical and experimental spirit that defines our history and drives our impact on the world. 

Our aim is to provide a high quality experience and service that is not only mission aligned but considered sector leading in line with the context and location of the founding UWC.  Over the next 5 years, we will actively develop existing programmes and expand our operation, introducing new initiatives and revenue streams as well as exploring a range of exciting options to offer.

The team will deliver a wide and diverse range of activities, events, adventure education, residential programmes, weddings and conferences, all of which will be to an exceptional standard of quality and service.

Our activity will be focused on, but not limited to, activities that are aligned with the UWC mission and values and which are educational. 

We need to recruit a first class team to support our ambitious plans; individuals who are passionate and driven, and who have the desire and determination to source, market, sell and deliver superb experiences for all our guests and visitors.
