What can you expect in a day in this role?
In the daylight hours, you’ll work alongside our guiding team, preparing for guest experiences, hosting selected activities, and helping create exceptional moments. You might be sharing local wildlife knowledge, supporting coastal walks, or simply offering warm, thoughtful hospitality to our guests.
As evening approaches, your focus shifts to the skies. You’ll perform pre-tour checks, ensure the observatories are pristine, prepare equipment, and review the night’s conditions. Once guests arrive, you’ll guide them through our astronomy experience, sharing stories of the cosmos, explaining celestial features in an accessible way, and highlighting the importance of preserving our dark skies.
What you’ll bring:
* Strong knowledge of and a genuine passion for astronomy
* Excellence in customer service, with confidence in a guest facing environment
* Confident public speaking skills and the ability to engage guests of all ages
* A university degree in astronomy or a related field (advantageous but not essential)
* Previous tour guiding experience (advantageous but not essential)
* A Tasmanian Medium Rigid driver’s licence and Passenger Transport (PPV) accreditation – or a willingness to obtain them (we’re happy to assist the right candidate).
* A current First Aid Certificate – or willingness to obtain one
This role requires someone who can commit for 12 months or longer, becoming a steady part of our guiding team throughout the year. During our busiest periods, summer and the peak Dark Sky season in winter, you’ll be expected to remain on‑site to support guest experiences when demand is highest.
You’ll typically work five days per week, with 38+ hours during peak periods. Shifts span afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends, reflecting the natural rhythm of both daylight adventures and night‑sky experiences.
Before applying, please ensure these requirements align with your availability and lifestyle.
What you can expect from us:
By joining the team at Saffire, you will gain exposure to working with inspiring industry mentors and gain the satisfaction knowing you are contributing to creating memorable guest experiences. This role is in a beautiful remote Tasmanian location, but still only a two-hour drive away from Hobart and Launceston.
Our staff have access to live in subsidised and fully furnished accommodation in Tasmania’s breathtaking Freycinet National Park which is located only 10 minutes' drive from holiday town, Coles Bay. You can also expect access to Wi-Fi and staff facilities at the employee accommodation site as well as a complimentary meal on your shift.
By joining Federal Group, you’ll also receive access to hundreds of discounts across many brands, helping you save on everyday expenses, including bills, fuel and groceries, fashion, restaurants, and entertainment.
