Current Openings
Out Doors Inc. (Out Doors) wants to hear from you!
We are a not-for-profit organisation that delivers outdoor adventure and recreation programs Victoria-wide for people at risk or living with a mental health issue. We believe that people learn best by ‘doing’ and focus on every participant’s ability rather than illness or disability.
The Role
We are currently looking for qualified and experienced Outdoor Program Workers to join our team on a sessional (casual) basis to work directly with individuals and groups at risk or experiencing a mental health issue in the provision of activity-based adventure programs.
All of Out Doors’ programs are led by 2-3 program staff and include no more than 12 participants, with trips ranging from 1-5 days.
As a Sessional Program Worker, you would be there in a supporting role to the Program Coordinator who leads and manages the program.
Important Details
Sessional Outdoor Program Support Workers are paid a flat rate for each program they work on. This is based on relevant qualification and experience.
| Experience | Day Trip | 2 days Overnight Program | 3 days Overnight Program | 4 days Overnight program | 5 Days Overnight Program |

| 5+ years | $310 | $630 | $980 | $1,330 | $1,680 |
