JOB OPENINGS

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Outdoor Adventure Girls. We are an outdoor community providing safe and inclusive environments for women to feel confident outdoors, connect with other like-minded women, and challenge the lack of representation of women in the outdoor space. 

WHAT WE DO

We provide small group adventure holidays for solo travellers, both in the UK and overseas, and we connect you with new friends as you explore the world. Through our local meetups, weekend getaways, and overseas trips, we bring groups of incredible women together, creating friendships and lasting memories.

We are passionate about mental health and the burden women carry throughout life, giving them the time to recharge, reset, and become their authentic selves when they attend our trips. 

Job title: Community moderator

Reporting to: Reports to the CEO

Location: Remote, UK-based. Occasional in-person meetups within your region required.

We are seeking  passionate female community moderators to assist with the management of our various regional groups in the UK. Our ideal candidates are experienced communicators, have confidence in leading groups, and have a passion for supporting others in accessing the outdoors.

• We ask for all moderators to be engaged in the group when you have time and to encourage meets/social walks for your region, either by hosting yourself or encouraging members to arrange their own.
• We ask all moderators to arrange meet ups in their regional group. What this looks like is totally up to you and could be a coffee meet, walk in the country park, hiking a mountain. 
• We will invite you to a team OAG WhatsApp for moderators to communicate with me, as well as other moderators. You can ask questions, or raise any concerns.
• Communicate with the leadership team whenever any problems, or issues within the regional group arise e.g. conflict, arguments etc.
• Attend quarterly team meet up (virtual) to meet other moderators and get updates from the team.

This is subject to availability and you MUST log your meet ups each month via the form provided. If you take your incentive earlier in the year, you are expected to continue hosting local meet ups and honour the agreement. Please speak to Sophie about this if you are interested. 

Note: We often get asked about how our members can become hosts for OAG. We have in the past been looking towards our moderator as potential new hosts, as it’s a great way for us to see you in action, your leadership skills and general interest in Outdoor Adventure Girls. We will likely do another host recruitment at the end of 2025.
