Careers
Students Explore Australia Pty Ltd is on a mission to connect young people with nature, as a way to improve their wellbeing. As a member of our team, your direct mission is to contribute to this core purpose.
Working at Students Explore Australia is not for everyone, but it is for those who deeply believe in our purpose and see themselves fitting in with our core values (as mentioned below). We take our company culture pretty seriously, making sure everyone feels part of the team. We celebrate wins together, and push each other to improve in our professional and personal lives. Our team’s head office is in South Australia, and we have staff all over Australia and a few overseas as well.
Why be Part of Our Team?
- You’ll get to see first hand the positive impact you have on young people’s lives.
- Be part of a high-performing team environment, where our company culture and team values shine through significantly. Have you ever had to watch documentaries on Gaia.com as part of your induction…? probably not… (we take striving for good vibes pretty seriously)
- Get to travel to amazing, nature based destinations within your state, and have the option to work in other incredible locations Australia-wide too!
- Be part of quarterly social nights with your team (with a healthy budget when your team gets ‘match wins’ for the programs you deliver)
- Get to work outdoors, delivering camp programs in some of Australia’s most amazing destinations!
For Fulltime Staff: - Our entire team of fulltime staff enjoy an all expenses paid yearly retreat in South East Asia for 1 week, where our whole team comes together to focus on powerful-mindset and wholistic leadership training, as well as our company direction and of course team bonding (It was Siargao Island, in March 2024, and March 2025 destination is TBA).
- Full-timers have 2 hours of paid learning time per week, with access to the SEA Library including audible, gaia.com, spotify and exclusive in-person leadership events.
- Fulltime staff will have a professional development plan in place after your first month (if you choose to have one)
- Enjoy a fairly niche workplace culture that includes team meditations on Monday and Friday, weekly recognition by peers, bi-weekly team games and much more!
