Careers

Our Leaders are a diverse bunch but what they all share is a commitment to challenging and supporting our Young Explorers, to sensitively testing their boundaries and to helping them develop key life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving and adaptability, which in turn allow self-confidence to flourish.

Each expedition is different, and some require certain skills or experience due to the terrain, the climate, the type of transport used and in some cases, the specific group of young people who are going on the expedition. In all roles, preference will be given to those with direct relevant experience although we will provide comprehensive training if you’re selected. If you have a love of nature and adventure, and the ability or potential to inspire, motivate, and encourage young people, we’d love to hear from you.

British Exploring Society are always on the look out for enthusiastic Members* (aged 18 – 25) to support us in our work to engage our existing community and help extend our reach to new audiences.

This is an opportunity for you to help the charity to achieve it’s strategic goals by getting involved in a variety of activities (e.g. by participating in Expedition and Archive Workshops, by speaking in fundraising events, or by producing and featuring in creative media projects).

If you have a passion for outdoor learning, and are enthusiastic about inspiring others by sharing your personal development story, we would love to hear from you.

*If you completed an expedition programme with us at any point in our history, you automatically hold life-long Membership.
