We’re hiring a Outdoor Education Field Leader to guide powerful outdoor learning experiences for youth. Whether you’ve studied ecology, environmental science, or education or just love the Earth and want to make a difference we want to hear from you.
We want people who are lit up by adventure, passionate about protecting the planet, have a love for nature and are drawn to helping kids unlock their greatest potential.
If you thrive in teamwork, if you feel a sense of joy and purpose in hearing the call of hornbills returning to their habitat, if you have a knack for blending ecological education with epic experiences then you’ll thrive with us.
We’re looking for a Freelance Outdoor Education Programme Lead to guide transformative outdoor learning adventures rooted in sustainability education. You'll hold group spaces, keep kids engaged, safe and having fun, foster environmental stewardship and lead with your full heart.
What You’ll Do
You’ll lead the day, hold the vision and the ‘why’, and guide the team through immersive, unforgettable field programmes. Your role blends leadership, high skill competency, storytelling, coordination with our super logistics team, and the powerful facilitation of group experiences—designed to ignite and support the next generation of changemakers. No two days are the same. Many of our programmes intersect with community-based ecotourism, wildlife monitoring, and regenerative conservation work, giving you real-world experience in sustainable nature-based livelihoods. One day you’re guiding a kayak adventure along dugong feeding grounds, the next you're hiking up to a reforestation project to witness nature’s slow return. Always, it’s about connection - to nature, the Earth and heart.
You’ll:
- Guide youth and school groups through outdoor learning and ecological experiences
- Lead briefings and mentor junior staff
- Manage the programme flow
- Adapt in real-time to group needs, weather, and energy
- Occasionally lead overnight programmes (max 2/month)
- Hold the emotional, educational, and operational centre of the day
