Guiding for Wilderness Scotland

Wilderness Scotland is always keen to hear from guides who can demonstrate great knowledge and passion for Scotland. Our guiding team have all been active in the outdoors in Scotland for many years. Some of them hold multiple qualifications while others specialise in a single activity. However, we view paper qualifications as only the first step in towards becoming a Wilderness Scotland guide.

More important is the ability to demonstrate great familiarity with many areas of the Scottish Highlands. Knowledge of Scotland's history, culture, environment, geology and geography is also important to us. Of course, we aim to provide our clients with the best possible experience, so our guides must take pride in their work and have a natural flair for customer care.

Such high standards mean that we are unable to offer work to instructors who have not worked in Scotland before or who have just graduated from an adventure tourism degree.

If, however, you have the knowledge, character and experience to work for Wilderness Scotland, we would love to hear from you and can offer you an excellent wage, good working conditions and the opportunity to lead superb trips in some of the most beautiful wilderness regions of Scotland.
