We deliver programs in the beautiful Kimberly, Pilbara and Midwest regions in northern WA and head out into the renowned Goldfields and also into our lush Wheatbelt communities. You will split your time between trip planning with our Perth based team and being on the road with our amazing volunteers.
You will be responsible for:
- Working closely with remote communities to book Fair Game visits
- Planning and organizing trip logistics
- Organizing your team of volunteers (3-4 volunteers) and conducting pre-trip briefings and trainings
- Heading out on regional trips (about 30 over the course of the year) and being the leader for the trips while in the regions
- Conducting end of trip evaluations
- Helping us deliver on our vision of creating an equitable, healthier and more sustainable Australia!
This is a one year contract starting mid-February.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Minimum of 21 years of age and have a clean driving record
- Permission to work in Australia or Eligibility for a work holiday visa. If you are under 30yrs old you should be eligible for a work holiday visa which allows you to work and play in AUS for 1 year. If you are over 30 then you will need to have rights to work in Australia.
- COVID double vaccination certificate
About you:
- Experience in health, wellness, and/or fitness education,
- Good organizer and leader,
- Excellent communicator,
- Likes working with people from all different walks of life,
- Willing to work a non-standard work week (don’t worry, you will have a good work-life balance!)
- Cool under pressure and can think on your feet.
Remuneration:
- A great salary of 60-65K AUD per annum +10% superannuation.
- 6 weeks of paid leave per year
- 5K Completion Bonus at the end of your contract
- When you are leading trips:
- Your accommodation, food, and travel will be paid for
Accommodation:
The trip lead role will travel about 24 weeks out of the year, with scheduling dependent on community needs. All accommodation is paid for when you are working in the regions and will be a mixture of hotels, donated community housing and school classrooms (with luxurious blow up mattresses!) depending on availability in the region.
Trips will often include weekend days on the road, but don’t worry you will be able to take those days off (pre-arranged with management) and can choose to spend that time in the regions on personal travel or working reduced weeks when in Perth. As long as you are meeting your work requirements, this role offers great flexibility!
As you are traveling so much, and may choose to spend even more time out of Perth in your downtime, the type of accommodation that would be best for this type of role would be in a ‘share house’ with roommates. We can certainly help you find somewhere appropriate.
Training:
We provide complete training. Our group training starts in late Feb so get in quick to register your interest!
