POSITIONS VACANT
Assistant Wardens
The Broome Bird Observatory (BBO) is regarded as one of the best locations
in Australia to view migratory shorebirds in high numbers and diversity, and
is considered to be one of the top four sites for migratory shorebirds in
the world. The BBO is situated in a bush environment and is located 10 km
east of Broome in Western Australia, on the northern shores of Roebuck Bay.
The BBO is a not for profit organisation that aims to promote and facilitate
ornithological research in order to ensure future conservation of shorebirds
and other native birds and their habitats. The BBO has hosted a range of
research projects since its inception; passerines and shorebirds are banded
at and around the Observatory on a regular basis. To ensure that the BBO is
financially viable it undertakes commercial activities without compromising
the research, conservation and educations goals of the organisation. The
principle commercial activities are the provision of accommodation, courses,
tours and shop sales.
Birds Australia is seeking hard-working, enthusiastic people to work at the
BBO between February and October in 2007. Duties include taking people on
tours, working in the shop and office, liaison with guests, maintenance and
cleaning. Accommodation is provided on site, together with a small salary.
Applicants must have held a driving licence for at least 4 years, as
assistant wardens are required to obtain an F class licence before they
commence work.
Please note the BBO has recently been approved by the Department of
Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) as an approved Special Program
and welcomes applications from individuals from other countries, especially
from those in the East-Asian Australasian Flyway.
Contact or (08) 9193 5600 for a position
description and application form. Applications close 7 January 2007.
