Employer: Wollangarra Outdoor Education Centre

Salary/Conditions: Full-time, two-three year tenure
People of exceptional character wanted for an extraordinary two to three year journey with almost one thousand young people. Constant challenges, long hours of complete satisfaction, safe return from expeditions preferable, tiredness guaranteed, community respect and recognition as primary remuneration.
Wollangarra is seeking one or two people to fill the position of Director/s from June 2010. Prospective applicants must be willing to live and work in a small, remote community, without electricity or modern luxuries.
Wollangarra was established twenty years ago, but remains more relevant than ever to the young people of today. It provides an opportunity for them to experience a lifestyle based around the simple philosophy of doing rather than talking and fixing rather than complaining.
Those who possess the following should consider applying:
· A good sense of humour.
· A good sense of direction.
· Patience. Things don’t happen quickly round here!
· The ability to differentiate between a spanner and a shifter.
· The ability to procure a range of materials necessary for innumerable projects using a combination of persuasion, resourcefulness and opportunistic behaviour.
