Working both from the Cirencester office and remotely, you will plan market leading educational itineraries, and work with our in-country partners to organise all in-country logistical arrangements, as well as: project work, seminars with United Nations agencies and international NGOs, and outdoor activities such as mountain treks and snorkeling. You will have responsibility for all related expenditure to keep within company budgets, and to strict safety standards.
You will liaise with our clients, in-country partners, and travel to overseas locations to set up new projects and fieldwork. Full training will be provided. The role may also be responsible for further functions within the operations team, for example, safety and medical equipment management and leader recruitment.
