The Role:
We are seeking professional, charismatic Freelance Summer Mountain Leaders who excel in hospitality and "invisible" logistics. You won't just be taking people on a tour; you will be an emotionally intelligent leader, tailoring the activity to match their desires and producing a transformational experience.
Key Responsibilities:
Leading customers on day trips to Ben Nevis, Steall Waterfall, and Dun Deardail.
Potentially operating a provided drone to capture simple, high-quality footage and hero shots of clients.
Managing all "on-the-hill" hospitality, ensuring client comfort and safety at all times.
Optional: Leading seperate "Wilderness Skill" sessions:
* Fire lighting (firepit)
* Erecting shelters (tarp)
* Water purification (boiling)
What We Are Looking For:
Qualification: Valid "Mountain Leader" award (https://www.mountain-) and current Outdoor First Aid Certificate (minimum 16 hours).
Charisma & EQ: Ability to engage with a sophisticated, international clientele with discretion and emotional intelligence.
Drone Competency: A valid CAA Flyer ID is desired, not required (this is free, the test is free also, lasts 5 years). An A2 CofC is highly advantageous (we can support the candidate freelancers that perform well, in acquiring this).
Optional Survival Skills: Proficiency in "clean" survival skills (fire-lighting, shelter building and water purification) although you will be taught all of these.
Mindset: A "service-first" attitude - you lead the way so the client doesn't have to think about the navigation, logistics, or the weather.
Why Join Us?
Creative Focus: We handle the editing; you just capture the raw beauty of the journey and send it to us.
High-End Long Term Goal: Work in a company that aspires to become a boutique firm that values precision and provides a high standard of service.
Mutual Respect: We expect you to be emotionally intelligent with our customers, and in return, we will be emotionally intelligent with our guides.
