MOROCCO FREELANCE TOUR LEADER

We are looking to recruit Morocco Freelance Educational Tours Staff.

Where will you be working?

Discover Ltd has been operating educational tours in Morocco since 1976. We currently operate two, three or four-centre tours in Morocco, taking in Marrakech, the High Atlas mountains around Imlil, the pre-Sahara desert around Zagora and the coastal town of Essaouira. Our tours run all year round and are largely bespoke; we work closely with our client schools to put together travel itineraries according to their needs—geography or biology fieldwork, trekking (High Atlas trekking up Toubkal, camel trekking in the desert), community work, cross-cultural visits, PHSE, etc. No two trips are exactly the same!

The Job – Freelance Field Studies Tutor

Employed for several weeks in the year, usually during peak season—Easter, Summer and half term breaks—although other weeks may be available. As much advance warning will be given as possible of dates, and successful applicants will be expected to complete at least one training tour with an experienced tour leader. Training is on-going and leaders should expect to complete training scenario assessments periodically.

To apply, please download the application form, the criminal records declaration and send with a copy of your CV to:
Sam Hillcox, Director of Studies.
