About the Role

An exciting opportunity is available at Scouts ACT’s Camp Cottermouth for an Operations Manager. Working under the direction of the Executive Officer, you will lead a dedicated on-site team to provide hospitality and a welcoming venue to our guests, while at the same time continuing to grow both revenue and profitability of the site’s multiple income streams.

This role is offered on a full-time basis, although part-time would be considered for the right candidate. Flexible hours and days are required for this role.

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Entrepreneurial – You have strong business acumen and know how to improve and grow a business.
  • Innovative – You’re a lateral thinker and thrive on determining solutions to problems.
  • Results focused – You know how to get things done on time and on budget with limited resources.
  • Energetic and capable – You don’t mind getting in and doing the grunt work, but you’re also forward thinking and always looking to work more efficiently. 
  • Collaborative – You enjoy being part of a small team who helps each other out.

About Camp Cottermouth and Scouts ACT

Camp Cottermouth, Scouts ACT’s premier group accommodation, camping and adventure facility, is located in a picturesque setting adjacent to the Murrumbidgee River just 7 minutes’ drive from the outskirts of Canberra via the Cotter Road.  Set on two sites across 24 hectares (59 acres), Camp Cottermouth offers cabin and camping accommodation, conference and dining experiences, and outdoor adventure to school and community groups, Scout groups, and the general public.

Camp Cottermouth employs approximately seven staff, mostly casual and part-time. They are supported by the Scouts ACT Office team.

Scouts ACT is a not-for-profit organisation. We inspire young people to learn new ways to build resilience, friendships, and a taste for adventure. Our culture encourages teamwork in a fun environment. You’ll join a passionate team driven by our dedication to creating a positive impact within our community.

You are a natural problem solver and people leader, with an ability to empower and lead a diverse and dynamic team. You know how to motivate staff to ensure a high performing team culture is maintained and you’re capable of creating an environment in which guest expectations are met at every opportunity.
