Careers in outdoor education
Employment and Training
Bring your practical skills, sound judgement and enthusiasm for working with people to outdoor experiences across Victoria.
Help people learn, connect and grow outdoors
AusCamp welcomes expressions of interest from motivated people with relevant skills, experience and enthusiasm. Opportunities can involve guiding, activity instruction, program support, operations and the practical work that helps a group experience run well.
If there is no advertised position that exactly matches your background, you can still introduce yourself. A clear expression of interest helps AusCamp understand where your experience, availability and interests may fit with future needs.
