Why you might love this opp:
You don’t need tour guiding experience — most of our team hadn’t done it before either. What matters most is that you’re curious, kind, and confident connecting with people from all walks of life. You’ll take part in a paid 18-hour training program (spread over about a month and designed to fit around your schedule) that will leave you feeling confident and completely at ease leading a tour.
What's involved:
What you'll be doing:
- Guiding walking tours on weekends and/or weekdays
- Leading up to 16 guests on public tours, and up to 24 on private tours
- Learning and delivering our Badass Women of Canberra or Spies in the Capital tour
Key criteria:
What we’re looking for
- Passion for gender equality, women’s stories, and Canberra
- Strong communication and storytelling skills
- Kind, empathetic, and able to build trust with a diverse range of guests
- Reliable, proactive, and comfortable working independently
- Open to feedback and growth
- Available to run at least one tour a fortnight (ideally weekly to start)
- Great at making people feel welcome — the kind of person who chats to someone standing alone at a party
- A strong memory and ability to think on your feet
- Someone doing interesting things — a history-shaping human in your own right
