Wilderness Adventure Therapy Field Guide
Aspiro needs employees that can use their skills to not only provide a safe and fulfilling experience for the students but also provide a therapeutic experience that will help the student learn critical life skills.
If you are interested in working as an Aspiro guidewe bring on new field guides for both seasonal and permanent positions Summer seasonal positionOur largest hiring opportunity is for our summer season.
Our number of students greatly increases during this season and we need extra guides to help support these numbers.
Due to the larger number of available summer positions we hold an intensive Guide Tryout.
All tryouts are nine days long and are typically done in the winter and spring months.
Participants will engage in various activities that will help us get to know them and hopefully highlight some of their strengths.
Hiring decisions are made shortly afterward.
Guides hired for seasonal summer employment are required to commit through the end of August.
Fall permanent positionAs our busy summer season winds down we look towards creating a team of guides that are invested in working throughout the following fall winter spring and summer.
This is a month commitment.
Because there are fewer spots available for these positions we sort through applicants on an individual basis throughout the year to find the right team members.
Once an inperson or phone interview is successfully completed we will invite the applicant to come to our volunteer tryout which lasts nine days.
Nothing will provide a more realistic idea of what the job of a Therapeutic Adventure Guide is like than actually participating in our training and spending time with a group of students and veteran guides.
Likewise this will give us a much better read on whether or not an applicant will be a good asset to our team.
This is the final step in the interview process and after reviewing your week you should know shortly if youll be joining the Aspiro family.
