The Friends of McNabs Island Society is hiring TWO university/college students again this summer (35 hrs/week for 12 weeks) to start work JUNE 1. The pay range is $13.50-14.50/hr depending on experience. The students must be under 30, registered as full-time students and returning to school full-time in the fall.

The Summer Interpreter is a dynamic position that is ideally suited for students seeking a challenging opportunity. The island setting offers rich nature experiences as well as engaging interactions with visitors, many discovering the island for the first time. This job would appeal to students who are outgoing, adaptable and comfortable in the role of ambassador for a non-profit organization.

The job duties are varied and would be suitable for students from wide-ranging disciplines including: environmental science, biology, horticulture, business, tourism, public relations, planning, recreation, education, graphic arts, history, Atlantic Canada studies, archaeology, architecture or carpentry.

Both students must be excellent written and oral communicators, work well with children on field trips to the island, and must be able to work as a team as McNabs Island interpreters. Both students must be physically fit and love being outdoors, even in the rain and cold. They must be willing to work weekends on McNabs Island. When not on the island, the students will work out of a small office in Dartmouth close to the Alderney ferry terminal.

Some of the job duties include:
• providing guided tours for McNabs Island visitors including youth groups,
• doing island maintenance work such as garbage/recyclable cleanup, trail and garden maintenance, Teahouse restoration repairs,
• promoting McNabs Island as a nature park and outdoor classroom,
• marketing our Discover McNabs Island book and brochures/maps,
• researching and writing stories about McNabs Island,
• updating our brochures, displays, and social media.

Jobs will be posted until midnight Sat. May 5. Please send resume, cover letter and references combined into ONE "WORD" format document and include your name in the file name i.e. jackorjilljones.doc and email to info at mcnabsisland.ca .
