As an Assistant Lead Caretaker, you are responsible for supervising a crew of 2-4 caretakers either on Mt. Mansfield or Camel's Hump. Assistant Leads work closely with the Northern Lead Caretaker and Caretaker Supervisor to oversee trail maintenance and public outreach on their assigned mountain.

Duties are divided between trail maintenance, hiker education, developing crew skills, managing crew schedules, tool needs, ongoing projects, and more. Caretakers are NOT rangers; you'll teach and employ friendly education and stewardship techniques at the Green Mountains' most popular hiking areas in order to encourage safe, low-impact hiking practices and to protect the trail.
