Employment

Employment with Outback Therapeutic Expeditions is fun, challenging and — most importantly — extremely rewarding.

We focus on building relationships of trust, growing confidence, teamwork, and positive decision-making skills.

Guides are responsible for providing a safe and inviting experience that integrates wilderness skills with therapeutic goals for up to nine students. The result is a truly unique outdoor employment experience.
