INFTA offers a range of national and international career paths and employment options, ranging from practicum places, scholarships to administrative staff, Forest Therapy Guide training mentors and lecturers as well as research and consultancy positions.

Mentors (m/f/d)

To supervise the progress of trainees as part of the practicum to become INFTA-Certified Forest Therapy Guides, we seek applications from suitable Mentors (m/f/d). We are interested to hear from you if you possess the following formal qualifications and people skills:

- you are an INFTA-Certified and Accredited Forest Therapy Guide
- you have participated in, at least, one INFTA-Forest Therapy Introduction (or equivalent workshop) after your graduation as INFTA-Certified Forest Therapy Guide
- you have a background in teaching, coaching, lecturing or similar profession and an understanding of the role and purpose of mentoring
- you have outstanding reading and writing skills
- you are focussed, productive, can keep to deadlines and possess good time-management skills
- you have adequate people skills, are reliable, approachable, conciliatory and open-minded




- you are a native English, German or Chinese speaker
- you command well-developed IT skills

Mentors are responsible for checking and assessing assignments submitted by trainees of the various training cohorts. Therefore, mentoring is a part-time role and will be awarded per training cohort (i.e., on a six-months contractual basis for INFTA’s Accredited Training Provider). While mentors are largely free in their mentoring roles and assessment of the deliverables from trainees, they are working within INFTA’s organisational framework. This requires team-work, being focussed, reliable and responsive, keeping strictly to agreed timelines.

In return, the positions are remunerated well above average, underscoring the importance and responsibilities vis-a-vis the trainees and INFTA.

If you are interested in joining INFTA as Mentor, please forward your CV with a cover letter to [email protected]. INFTA treats your application with utmost confidentiality.
