Travel Security Advisor and Educator USA Wide

Maiden Voyage is expanding globally and as such we have number of vacancies for world class trainers across the globe and in particular across multiple states in the USA.

As a freelance trainer you will be part of a top-class delivery team,  providing second-to-none traveller and personal safety training to some of the world’s best-known brands.

Training assignments will vary in duration and can range from just a few hours to a number of days.  Our clients’ travellers range from inexperienced travellers taking their first business trip to a capital city to highly-experienced individuals entering extreme risk destinations.

No two sessions are the same, the subject matter is highly interesting and every course is a humbling but enriching experience.

About you

Passionate about travel, you will have delivered outstanding travel safety training for a number of years.  You are a seasoned traveller and you might possibly have previously  lived as an overseas expat. You may have a specialism such as anti-kidnap, expertise in specific regions or even self-defense but this is by no means essential. We are as interested to speak to people who have managed travel safety within their own organisations or have worked for the humanitarian sector, NGOs, military or the government. Having a robust background in Travel Risk Management would be advantageous. You may also be multi-lingual.

For us it’s all about attitude so you will need to:

• Have a flexible, pragmatic and positive attitude
• Have outstanding attention to detail
• Be able to read your audience and respond accordingly
• Have years of travel experience with a full understanding of what can go wrong and how best to avoid it
• Be able to adapt your communications style depending on your audience
• Have integrity and loyalty at the heart of your values
• Be able to show empathy and sensitivity. Our courses tend to bring to the fore very personal experiences
• Be inspiring and credible with the ability to deliver the key messages in a memorable and engaging style.

We particularly encourage applications from members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, disabled people and people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
