Les Stables Training Camps France summer job vacancy

It’s that time of the year again… Les Stables want YOU!

Here is a very interesting opportunity (a.k.a. the dream summer job!), for the right person.

Les Stables Training Camps France (www.les-stables.com) are seeking for an assistant to help running their training camps for eight weeks, starting April 12th 2017.

With a few hours per day of work – and perfect training opportunities literally on your door step, including a 25metre pool – this could be a great way to live the ‘full-time’ triathlon life while also building some great contacts and experience in the process.

Your Editor had the privilege of spending a week at Les Stables during 2016, and I can honestly say it is one of the most incredible places I have ever been to, run by amazing people, combing superb facilities, great training and lots of fun too! Whoever gets selected for this role will be very well looked after and gain contacts and opportunities over and above the simple ‘job specification’ below.

When we have put similar requests out on behalf of Les Stables for the past two years, the response has been enormous. This really is a great opportunity for the right person. Read on and make sure you get your application in if it sounds interesting to you.

  2. Grass cutting – using the sit on mower and tractor.
  3. Any other basic duties around the venue as and when required.

What you get in return

The successful candidates duties will normally only take up half of the day and given that most of them are based around swimming, biking and running where they participate in the activity they will get a lot of training in simply as part of their role.

This scheduling leaves the successful candidate the rest of the day to do their own specific training.
