Hiking Guides - North Island

Details of the offer

We are on the hunt for a professional, personable hiking guide to host our multi-day hiking tours exploring the North Island's most spectacular areas. Our trips are designed carefully for small groups with lots of logistics, and our guides are the crucial keystones for ensuring the trip runs smoothly and each client enjoys the walking holiday of a lifetime. 
As well as guiding on the trails, the role involves a fair amount of driving and cooking, some light cleaning and lots of socialising. The days are long; physically and mentally demanding, but a lot more fun than sitting at a desk. Our season begins in October and ends in April. Most trips are 4 days, 3 nights with guide accommodation and meals included. 
The areas we cover are Great Barrier Island, Coromandel, Lake Waikaremoana, Taranaki and Tongariro National Park. 
You will be an independent contractor.
Essential qualifications:
• Current Outdoor First Aid qualification.
• Full, clean, current New Zealand drivers' license with Passenger endorsement.
Desired qualities and qualifications: 
• A love of nature and a desire to share your knowledge of New Zealand culture and history.
• A cracking sense of humour, positive outlook on life and a respect for health and safety.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to co-ordinate groups of up to 15 people.
• Good physical fitness – you will be required to carry a hiking pack that will vary in weight according to the days' needs.
• Ability to work independently in remote locations – with larger groups you will have an equally awesome colleague to share the trail with.
• Ability to drive fully loaded minivans with attached luggage trailers confidently and safely on gravel roads.
• An eye for detail and a systematic approach to getting the many tasks completed efficiently. Full training provided, although some basic cooking skills are an advantage.

If this sounds absolutely superb to you, send a CV and Cover Letter in to Cathy – [email protected] If you would like to discuss details, please call 0800 WALK NZ (925 569)
Applicants for this position must have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
