Program Manager at Wollangarra Outdoor Education Centre

2 weeks ago

Ballarat, Australia Outdoors Victoria Full time

As the Program Manager at Wollangarra, you will be the second in charge to the Director and an essential part of a small community based around a truly unique outdoor and environmental education program and lifestyle. The Wollangarra philosophy is about getting things done, so your days will be filled with hard work and a strong sense of purpose. You will introduce young people to the Victorian mountains through a program of practical conservation through outdoor education, which will help them to see environmental issues as exciting and demanding challenges to the way we live, rather than endlessly depressing and negative threats to our future.

The position requires that you reside on the Wollangarra property. You will live and work with four to five other Outdoor Leaders, a Director and her daughter (aged 16). Wollangarra becomes your workplace, home and family. This brings lots of laughter, fun, adventure and, inevitably, a tear or two. The role is highly physical. Your time at Wollangarra will offer a challenging, but immensely rewarding experience. For the right person, this is an experience of a lifetime.

The position includes accommodation, training and reasonable food costs, postage and phone calls, four weeks break, most Saturdays off and one weekend off a month, and an honorarium.

Wollangarra is looking for applicants who, among other qualities, can demonstrate:

- Tertiary qualifications and experience in outdoor education, outdoor recreation, the environmental sciences, education or similar

- Strong outdoor skills, including leading groups in the outdoors

- Current Full Drivers License. A manual driver’s license is required but can be obtained once accepted for the position

- A strong work ethic, personal organisation and initiative

- Knowledge of safe work practices and how to create a culture of safety and inclusion.

Applications close: 5 pm on 24 October 2025
