Caretaker Supervisor

The Caretaker Supervisor supervises 15-20 seasonal Backcountry Caretakers stationed throughout the Long Trail System. Caretakers live in the woods 4 nights a week, stationed at public overnight shelters and campsites on the Long Trail. The daily duties of a caretaker are divided between trail maintenance, site maintenance (including composting human waste), and hiker education.

The Caretaker Supervisor will work closely with the Director of Field Programs, Field Coordinator, and seasonal Lead Caretakers to scout and plan work projects in late spring, and to handle project logistics throughout the season. The Caretaker Supervisor ensures a fluid field season through facility and gear management, training, supervision, and management and logistical support for the caretaker program. Position duties are split approximately 50-50 between the office and the field.

The Caretaker Supervisor should bring a depth of experience in public outreach, environmental education, trail maintenance, backcountry waste management, seasonal staff supervision, backpacking, and outdoor living.

We desire to create a more welcoming outdoor professional culture unconstrained by tradition, and seek a Supervisor who shares this goal.
