**Pay**: $40/hr + Fuel Allowance
**Hours**: 9am - 2pm (5-hour shifts), 1 to 5 days per week
**Term-based contract: Ongoing opportunities**
**About the Role**
Join a bold, purpose-driven team that's reshaping youth mentoring in Australia. As an Adventure Minds facilitator, you won't just run activities — you'll mentor young people aged 9-12 or 13-18 in outdoor, adventure-based, real-world environments. Each week, you'll guide the same group of homeschool students through excursions that challenge their confidence, discipline, teamwork, and self-awareness.
You'll be leading powerful group experiences — from kayaking and hiking to escape rooms and ice baths — while also building meaningful relationships through weekly check-ins, group debriefs, and reflection sessions. This is not a typical "kids activities" job. This is about stepping into a leadership role, being a mentor, and making a genuine impact.
**What You'll Be Doing**
- Facilitating weekly 5-hour sessions during school terms
- Leading groups through exciting outdoor & indoor activities such as:
- Hiking, beach trips, paddleboarding, rock climbing, kayaking, tree-top courses, and more
- Indoor escape rooms, laser skirmish, indoor skydiving, and more
- Guiding simple group debriefs and mentorship conversations
- Helping co-create term plans with the leadership team
- Participating in a group facilitator chat for weekly updates and parent communication
- Working either solo (as a Lead) or alongside a Co-Facilitator depending on group size
**What We're Looking For**
- A current Blue Card (or willingness to obtain one)
- A current Yellow Card (or willingness to obtain one)
- First Aid Certificate (or willingness to become certified)
- Experience working with groups of young people (essential)
- A health-oriented lifestyle — you enjoy being active and outdoors
- Access to reliable transport (a car is strongly preferred)
- Availability to commit to the same weekly group for the full term
- Confidence in leading group conversations and being a positive role model
**Training & Support** Facilitators will receive both formal and informal onboarding, including face-to-face and online training, system walk-throughs, and planning tools. Ongoing support is provided throughout the term. We're building a team of people who feel like family — and we host optional social meetups to keep our community tight.
**Growth Opportunities** Adventure Minds is growing fast. Facilitators who thrive will have the opportunity to:
- Lead multiple groups and increase their hours
- Receive advanced in-house training and leadership mentoring
- Be considered for future franchise opportunities as we expand
