Job description

About the role

As a Localing host, you welcome guests, drive and host them through the day, and bring your city and region to life along the way. No two days are the same: one might be a relaxed food and wine walk, the next a full VVIP itinerary with a tight schedule.

Why you'll love it

You take on the tours that suit your schedule, so the role pairs well with other commitments

Plenty of work through peak season and beyond

Varied, genuinely enjoyable work with the right touch of challenge

Spend your workday in your city's best venues, laneways, wineries and lookouts

About you

Previous guiding experience isn't essential. You do need to know your city properly: the key precincts, how to move between them, and the places worth a detour and some of the most popular regional areas. If you can talk about a laneway, a gallery, a winery or a lookout with real interest rather than a memorised script, you'll fit right in.

You are:

A natural storyteller with genuine enthusiasm for people

Somebody with real interest in one or more of: culture, food and wine, wildlife, history, music, arts, fashion

Responsible, self-motivated, and comfortable running a day on your own

Warm, reliable, and able to read a room

Comfortable and confident driving inside and outside the city

Proficiency in a second language is highly regarded

Requirements

Over 25 years of age

Hold an ABN (contractor role)

Valid first aid certification, or willingness to obtain one

Passenger transport license in your state, or willingness to obtain one
