Description |
Lang Tengah Turtle Watch is searching for an individual who will assume the internship position of Assistant Camp Manager on their island-based sea turtle conservation programme off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia between the 3rd August - 4th October 2015.
The successful applicant will assist in managing our volunteer project on Turtle Bay, Lang Tengah and its personnel, comprised of: one permanent staff member, up to 3 research interns and 8 volunteers. You will be one of the lead representatives of our organisation on the island, it is therefore your responsibility to maintain and further strengthen the healthy relationships with the resorts that we have spent great care and time in fostering.
The daily routine of the Assistant Camp Manager will mean ensuring that the daily volunteer schedule is adhered to. Our project is a fun and relaxed place to be, so we are looking for someone who can carry out the daily routine without it becoming monotonous. It will be up to your discretion to tackle any unforeseen situations accordingly, while trying not to alter the overall daily schedule.
Typical daily activities undertaken by the project are: nest inspections, nighttime beach patrols, camp chores, jungle trekking, snorkelling & cliff jumping. Upon dispatch to the site, you will be given a two-week training period.
Applicants must be confident in themselves, their manner, be easily approachable and be comfortable interacting with people from many different nationalities and cultures. This is an integral part to the role, as much of your time will be spent welcoming new volunteers (and integrating them into the project), liaising with resort management, staff & tourists around the island, as well as local authorities. Organisational & budgeting skills will also be required, as you will be required to undertake camp resupply approximately once a week, involving trips back to the mainland and coordinating volunteer arrivals.
