Careers
Wilderness Guides
Wilderness Scotland is always keen to hear from guides who can demonstrate great knowledge and passion for Scotland and/or northern England. Our guiding team have all been active in the outdoors in Scotland and or northern England for many years. Some of them hold multiple NGB qualifications while others specialise in a single activity. However, we view paper qualifications as only the first step in towards becoming a Wilderness Scotland guide.
More important is the ability to demonstrate great familiarity with many areas of Scotland and/or norther England. Knowledge of Scottish/English history, culture, environment, geology and geography is also important to us. Of course, we aim to provide our clients with the best possible experience, so our guides must take pride in their work and have a natural flair for customer care and hospitality.
Experiential Guides
Wilderness Scotland is seeking guides to deliver experiential travel in Scotland for our clients. To be an experiential guide, you do not need to have an NGB qualification (but great if you do) as any such activities would be delivered in tandem with a qualified guide. You may currently hold a formal guiding qualification (such as being a Blue Badge or Green Badge guide) or you may simply have gained experience working in the sector. You will need to hold a valid first aid qualification. You will need a curious mind which thrives on seeking out interesting new experiences and encounters for our clients.
