Coordinator Needed
The Andean Bear Foundation is seeking a mature, reliable coordinator
with strong organization skills for the research side of its
conservation work in the Intag region of Ecuador.
The idea candidate will:
• Be at least 28 years old
• Speak at least basic Spanish and fluent English, or vice versa
• Have a background in biology, ecology or a similar field
• Be a “people person” and have leadership experience
• Be physically fit and able to walk at altitude
• Commit for at least 6 months
There is no salary for this voluntary post, but board and lodging will
be provided in the shared volunteer house. The work schedule is
variable but the coordinator will need to work weekends with some time
off in the week.
The work will involve timetabling and coordinating the work of visitors
and volunteers, leading walks, running the household (there is a cook,
but the coordinator will organize the purchase of groceries, etc.). The
coordinator is the public face of the project and must have excellent
people skills and enjoy spending time with volunteers from around the
world as well as with the local community. The vast majority of the
time involves working with people, not bears.
This is a challenging and responsible position and requires a loyal,
dedicated candidate.
To apply, send a CV with photo and application letter to:
volunteer@andeanbear.org as soon as possible, quoting reference
WSCooMar10.
