To apply, please send an email to trips@esplora.co.uk with the subject “work with us” including:

If you have sent your CV to us in the past and would like to reapply, we would be happy to consider you.
As part of the selection process you will initially be expected to attend a short online interview via Zoom in which you will need to demonstrate your ability in English. If selected to proceed further, you will be asked to complete a handful of short written tests before a second, in-depth interview, in English, in which you will need to demonstrate an exceptional knowledge of your specialist region. Short-listed candidates will then be required to pass our training programme before being invited to work for us.
