Tour Guide And Office Manager

An exciting opportunity has come up to be part of the team at Ulva's Guided Walks on Rakiura/Stewart Island! Ulva's Guided Walks is one of the original bird watching companies on Stewart Island. Our specialty is small personal tours, with knowledgeable, locally based guides. We offer bird watching and botanical experiences on Ulva Island and evening kiwi spotting at Stewart Island's Mamaku Point Conservation Reserve.
We are seeking a multi-skilled superstar to run our office as well as lead our guided walks. This fixed-term position would involve the equivalent of full-time employment, including 20 hours of administration work alongside a minimum of 20 hours of tour guiding per week (with the potential to increase if desired) during our busy tourist season (September – April). The preferred candidate will be flexible with their working hours given we have both day-time and evening tour departures.
The role is suited to someone with the following skills:
Strong Communication
Competent with standard computer programmes – including online booking platforms and shared file systems
Highly organised and superb forward-planning ability
Effective time management
Good knowledge and passion for conservation and the flora and fauna of New Zealand
Full training will be provided for both the administration and guiding portions of the role.
This is a rare vacancy which gives someone the opportunity to have consistent, guaranteed hours throughout the busy tourist season, with future opportunities to potentially develop the role into a permanent position. We are willing to look at support options for accommodation if the successful applicant does not already reside on Stewart Island.
If you are a go-getter, self-motivated and love to provide high-level nature experiences to visitors – then we want to hear from you! Imagine being the face for such an exceptional part of our country. Dive into the remote forest and take the next step in your conservation career.
All applications must be received via Seek. Please indicate on your cover letter if you have work rights in New Zealand. A copy of the position description can be obtained by emailing ******.
(Laptop and Phone will be provided. There is no physical office so this is a work from home opportunity however you must be based on Rakiura/Stewart Island).
