Volunteer Journalists Needed - Raleigh International - Expeditions to Borneo, Costa Rica & Nicaragua, India and Tanzania.

Raleigh International is seeking Communications Officers to join expeditions in Costa Rica, Borneo, India and Tanzania.

The role includes documenting the expedition and raising awareness of Raleigh to internal and external audiences. You’ll be visiting community, environmental and adventure project sites to gather material, working closely with the photographer and other volunteers to generate a variety of media to showcase the progress and achievements of the expedition. The role may also involve fundraising, sponsorship, event organisation and PR. Most importantly, the Communications Officer is part of the fieldbase team and therefore plays a critical role in the day-to-day running of the expedition – everything from problem-solving to sourcing kit, maintaining contact with the project teams to resupplying trekking groups.

Essential skills

  • Excellent writing and editing skills
  • First class organisational skills
  • Ability to work proactively and independently
  • Ability to work in teams, often under tight timescales with limited resources
  • Willingness to be flexible and put the needs of the expedition and venturers (volunteers aged 17 – 24) first
  • Experience in communications/marketing/PR or journalism
