This role requires regular travel across NSW to support delivery needs. Applicants must be willing and able to undertake travel and work across multiple locations.

In this role, you will deliver engaging training and facilitate learning within the Certificate III in Guiding program, enabling students to build rewarding careers in the tourism industry. Drawing on your industry expertise, you will help students develop the skills and confidence to lead tour groups,



present engaging commentaries and activities, provide exceptional customer service and share local, historical and regional knowledge. Through a blend of practical and theoretical learning, you'll prepare students to create safe, memorable and meaningful visitor experiences while effectively engaging with diverse audiences.

An important aspect of this role is delivering SITTGDE019 - Research and share information on Australian Indigenous cultures.
