Freelance Experiential Trainer

Looking for a career that’s exciting, dynamic and adventurous? Come join us to design meaningful experiences that positively impact the lives of students and adults of all ages

Who We Are

serendipity - (n)phenomenon of discovering something valuable without looking for it.

After working as employees for an outdoor adventure company for several years, the co-founders Yuan Long and Tines started SerendipET as a way to give back to society, to chase happiness rather than profits.

SerendipET is a social enterprise that is trusted by 40+ schools, companies and government agencies to provide experiential learning programs such as school camps, corporate retreats and outdoor adventure programs. From an amazing race across Singapore to stand-up paddling, there's an adventure for everyone

As part of our social mission, we train youths, especially those from at-risk backgrounds, to become outdoor adventure facilitators and provide job opportunities in the outdoor adventure industry for them. We also volunteer to facilitate pro-bono or heavily subsidized outdoor adventure programs to youth organisations such as ITE College and other charities.

We are looking for freelance experiential trainers to work alongside us to offer experiential learning programs to various schools, companies and government agencies. The selected facilitators will have the following responsibilities:

- Facilitate experiential activities which may include outdoor adventure programs (e.g. kayaking, obstacle courses, orienteering, campcraft skills, etc), classroom based workshops (e.g. Terrarium making workshops, personality profiling classes and after-school engagement activities) and corporate teambuilding programs (e.g. archery tag, laser tag and leadership training)
- Facilitate the learning of participants in accordance to the guidelines, frameworks and learning outcomes of SerendipET
- Ensure that participants participate in the activities in a safe manner and wear safety equipment properly (e.g. ensuring safety equipment is worn properly on high elements activities or ensuring participants walk on proper footpaths during orienteering activities)
- Clean, maintain and preparing of equipment and logistics, including administrative work such as attendance taking.

We are committed to your learning and growth. Should you be selected, here are some unique experiences that you can look forward to:

- Break free from the shackles of a boring office job and earn an income while having fun facilitating meaningful experiences
- Develop valuable people skills through interacting and connecting with people from all walks of life - from students in primary school to senior citizens to persons with disabilities and corporate leaders
- Be mentored on your life and career aspirations by two of Singapore’s most passionate social entrepreneurs and seasoned outdoor adventure specialists

**JOB REQUIREMENT**
While you will be trusted with important responsibilities (no coffee making or erasing the whiteboard), it's fine if you don't have the skills yet.

All we are looking for is 3 specific qualities:
1. Enjoy public speaking and being around people

A large part of the work we do revolves around designing meaningful experiences for people that touch their lives. So if you enjoy being around people and connecting around people, you’d have a blast at this job

2. Strong interest in outdoor adventure activities

Whether it’s facilitating a kayaking class, a dodgeball session or building a terrarium, you enjoy being in the outdoors and getting active.

3. Adaptable to changing situations

During activities, things may change very quickly, so you must be open to adapting to situations as they arise, thinking on your feet and making changes on the fly.
