Full-time | Freelance

Full job description

As the leading wildlife tour specialist in the world, Naturetrek offers the widest selection of expert-led wildlife holidays and expedition cruises to some of the most spectacular regions on earth. Staffed by wildlife enthusiasts and dedicated travel professionals, we are passionate about organising outstanding, competitively priced, responsible wildlife experiences around the world. Our office-based staff and tour leaders are our greatest asset; our meticulous planning, attention to detail, thorough research, knowledge and passion for the natural world ensure our wildlife holidays are second to none. As important as our academic and professional backgrounds, are our less-tangible skills: empathy with our clients, pro-activity in pioneering new ideas, the ability to deliver under pressure, dedication to our work and a passion for the natural world.

Below we list any current positions for which we’re recruiting, both where positions are vacant and where there is potential for a talented individual to join us in a new role.

How to apply

Please post a copy of your CV and cover letter, outlining your background, any relevant information, and why you consider yourself suitable for the position, to Andy Tucker at Naturetrek, Mingledown Barn, Wolfs Lane, Chawton, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3HJ, or email Andy at [email protected].

Please note that acknowledgements will be sent only to those applicants invited to interview.

Ornithologist/Naturalist Tour Leaders

Although not actively recruiting, we will accept CVs from expert and enthusiastic ornithologists and naturalists, and especially botanists, preferably with wide all-round natural history knowledge and experience, to lead Naturetrek’s natural history tour groups overseas on a freelance basis, particularly to Europe, but also to Africa, Asia, Australasia, the Americas, and occasionally to the Arctic and Antarctica. We are not currently accepting CVs for whale-watching/marine life guides or African safari guides.

As well as being an expert birder, naturalist or botanist, with a portfolio of overseas experience relevant to Naturetrek destinations, a successful applicant will need to be a natural organiser and communicator, gregarious and outgoing. A good sense of humour, positive outlook and the ability to make each holiday fun, as well as educational, are further essential qualities. As well as organising, managing and leading each group, applicants may also need to demonstrate experience of driving a 9-seater minibus (used on some western European tours) and the ability to be calm and proactive in problem-solving situations.

An ability to present clear post-tour accounts (with receipts for expenditure), and to write well and to produce post-tour natural history ‘tour reports’, preferably illustrated with images taken on tour, is also required. Additional work may include overseas tour research and the enhancement of the Naturetrek programme of natural history tours.

Salary/fee
Negotiable, and depending on experience.

Terms & contract information
Employment: Freelance, per-tour contract, though some tour leaders are full-time, salaried staff members.
Hours: On call 24 hours each day whilst on tour
