Raleigh, an education charity relies on teams of experienced volunteer managers in project and field based roles to help run community, environment and adventure expeditions for young people (venturers) aged 17-24 from all walks of life.

We currently run expeditions in Borneo, Costa Rica & Nicaragua and India and have logistics roles available on all 2010 expeditions.

Requirements:
Aged 25 to 80, common sense, flexibility, drive, teamworking and some roles require specialist skills

The responsibilities:
• Plan, manage and account for rations or equipment for up to 150 people, working largely on your own initiative.
• Use existing systems to implement the above or establish new systems where necessary.
• Place large accurate orders with suppliers, maintain good relations and seek cost effectiveness.
• Work within a budget and be able to account for all expenditure.
• Accurately and effectively administer the issue of rations or equipment.
• Be able to account for the whereabouts of all rations or equipment.

The skills:
• Willingness to be flexible and put the needs of the expedition and the venturers first.
• Excellent administrational and organisational skills.
• Computer literacy (including the use of spreadsheets).
• Methodical and thorough planning and accurate calculating of orders.
• Excellent time management.
• Good clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to cope with brief but intensive high activity periods.

The benefits:
• You’ll be making a genuine difference to host communities and environments - with a permanent field base in each country our staff are able to build long-term relationships with project partners to ensure the projects are worthwhile and sustainable.
• You get to explore off-the-beaten track because Raleigh gets into areas other tourists don’t have access to.
• You gain satisfaction from helping venturers on their way to being the best they can be, developing your own confidence and learning many new skills along the way.
• Raleigh welcomes people from all backgrounds and nationalities, including the host country, so you’ll experience a unique exchange of cultures and make long-lasting friendships.

One thing is certain - there is no such thing as a typical day on a Raleigh expedition!

Please note that all volunteer managers will be expected to make a financial contribution to the charity to help run the expedition.
