Why work for Outlook Expeditions?

"Outlook is leading the way in helping young people transform the way they see the world.  They passionately believe in creating bespoke, development-based expeditions which maximise the opportunities for young people to learn and grow.  Outlook are key in moving the industry forward, by sponsoring a PhD which explores how leadership behaviours impact on the learning outcomes of the participants.  The research will help to tailor how we lead to get the most out of the expedition.  I am always greeted with a smile and a cheery conversation by Outlook staff - they definitely make me feel valued and appreciated.  If you are seeking to work with an organisation that is innovative and inspiring, then Outlook is for you."  Samantha McElligott (Expedition Leader)

Since 2001, we have taken thousands of young people to more than 60 different destinations across the globe, providing life changing opportunities and a setting for our participants to discover themselves and realise their true potential. Put simply our expeditions encourage young people to mature and develop those all important transferable life skills that will help them stand out from the crowd.  Our participants are challenged daily throughout the expedition experience and are given the opportunity to lead, take responsibility and make their own decisions.  The benefits are endless - from academia to real transferable skills - it's no wonder that our participants grow as individuals whilst on expedition.

At Outlook we really do care about what we do and how we do it.  Quality is at the heart of everything we do, we take time to listen to feedback and go that extra mile to act on it.  More than a decade of youth expeditioning has taught us that every team is unique and one size will not fit all.  Our Tailor-Made expeditions offer boundless flexibility and choice, but we also realise that our Expedition Leaders are key to providing a quality and safe expedition experience.  That's why we invest all important time and effort into making sure we match the right Expedition Leader with the destination and team.

Over 75% of our leaders come back to lead for us again.  They enjoy working with Outlook because we provide competitive pay, an industry leading support package and appoint our leaders early, allowing time to build those all important strong relationships within the team and to highlight the strengths and weaknesses prior to departing overseas.  We also value our Expedition Leaders and with a small team of dedicated full-time staff go out of our way to ensure that every leader is treated as an individual, but more importantly are made to feel very much a part of the Outlook family.
