Talk about a dream job – bush walking, breathing in the fresh air and getting paid for the privilege. Employment Office recently filled unique roles for casual bush walking guides at Australia’s newest luxury getaway, Spicers Canopy, an accredited Eco Tourism site forming part of the successful Spicers Retreats, Hotels and Lodges brand.

It’s the ultimate tree change for the frustrated worker – swap peak hour traffic for bush walking in the Boonah/Warwick areas, a desk for the bush, work wear for a pair of hiking boots and an air-conditioned office for sweet, fresh air.

Employment Office Director Tudor Marsden-Huggins said, while the qualifications and experience requirements for such unique roles can be a little out-of-the-ordinary, an individual tailored recruitment campaign resulted in multiple hires for Spicers Canopy.

“Many people dream of turning their hobbies into a job and it can be quite difficult attracting candidates with the passion as well as the qualifications for the job,” Mr Marsden-Huggins said.

“With the assistance of an individually tailored recruitment campaign, Spicers Canopy hired not one, but two highly ideal candidates for their Casual Bush Walking Tour Guide role,” he said.

“Not only did the successful candidates display all of the necessary requirements of a professional bush walker, but they were passionate about getting to know new people and capable of teaching others about the Australian bush and local history – it was a complete package.”

Spicers is a progressive luxury accommodation brand renowned for offering unique experiences and services, so out-of-the-ordinary positions are not unusual.

Along with the unique qualifications for each position, Spicers is always on the lookout for candidates with the Spicers passion.

Therefore, Employment Office is proud to have found candidates that ticked all of these boxes for the Bush Walking Tour Guide roles, with the successful new recruits settling into their new roles at Spicers Canopy.
