Interested in the opportunity of a lifetime? Global Works is welcoming experienced, responsible, and energetic leaders for 2012.
Global Works staff positions offer salary, living expenses during a program, and airfare to and from the country of the program being served. The dates of employment include a training session over the Memorial Day weekend in May and service throughout the duration of the program, which is typically is one month between late June and early August).
Please Note: Application period closes January 20th, 2012
Staff should have the following qualifications before applying:
- Candidates must be over the age of 23.
- Candidates must have experience traveling and working with high school age students.
- Language Immersion Programs require a high degree of Spanish, French, or Mandarin proficiency as staff will be required to instruct students or navigate with the group in the target language.
- Hiring for specific countries is determined by available openings (due to number of returning staff) and qualifications.
Note: Due to a high veteran staff return rate and the fact that we have fewer offerings on our English-speaking programs (New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia), these staff positions are highly competitive. Applicants for these positions should have additional qualifications in two or more of the following areas: teambuilding, medical training (WFR/WSI), working with teenagers, or leading international group travel.
Once we have reviewed qualified applications, we will be in touch to begin the process of scheduling interviews. You must be interviewed in person to be considered for a position. We do our best to schedule interviews while we are out on the road marketing November through February. Often setting up an interview will depend on your flexibility and ability to meet us at a given place and time.
Following an initial wave of interviews in January and February, most job offerings are made by mid March. Interviews after March may be offered as needed.
