Casual Tour Guide and Education Program Guide

The Harbour Trust engages casual Guides to tell the history and significance of the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust’s sites at Cockatoo Island and Sub Base Platypus, North Sydney. 

The demand to deliver these stories is now increasing and we would like to invite interested professionals to apply for either the Tour Guide and/or Education Program Guide roles.

General Tour Guides deliver tours to the general public, families, and special interest groups. While our Education Program Guide is responsible for communicating the history and significance of the Harbour Trust sites (predominantly Cockatoo Island) to schools and other educational institutions.

This is a talent pool. As such, applications will be reviewed as positions become available. Applications for this pool close 31 June 2023. Applications and resumes are to be submitted to hr@harbourtrust.gov.au.
