Position Description

Join our Youth Ministry on Tall Ships! 

Do you have a passion for youth ministry, love spending time outdoors, and want to sail on board a tall ship? Apply now to join the SALTS crew! Not an experienced sailor? That’s okay – SALTS provides all training necessary to safely operate our ships and fulfill your role. Experienced sailor? We have senior officer roles too. We are currently accepting applications for the paid crew positions of Captain, First Mate, Bosun, Watch Officer, and Cook, with positions starting as soon as suitable candidates are available. 

All crew members guide and mentor the young people who sail with us, and each role has an additional focus on either group leadership, ship maintenance, or cooking. SALTS operates two schooners based out of Victoria BC, and each year 1700 young people participate in our program as trainees, on 4-10 day trips in coastal BC waters. Annual crew salaries range from $40K-$90K (up to $109K total compensation). Employment for all roles is typically full-time, year-round, but we also have need for some experienced relief (part-time) crew members. To see available roles, visit https://salts.applytojobs.ca/
