Tour Coordinators Role and Duties
To be a Tour Coordinator for a PWB tour is a challenging role- but it is not without its rewards. You will be part of a diverse humanitarian team delivering performing arts internationally.

You will need to be prepared to dedicate time and energy to this role and will be expected to see your role as the facilitator in both delivering the project to the volunteers and the benificieries. During this process you will be the first point of contact for both the volunteers and the partner organisations that we work with.

It would be most beneficial for you to have taken part as a volunteer on the tour that you are applying for but it is not a prerequisite. To have an understanding about the country you will be in is important as you will be navigating your team through the journey from preparing them for the trip and guiding them throughout the tour.

You will have responsibilty for maintaining the tours legal and ethical compliance and communicating throughout with the tour team and wider PWB management.

Here at PWB we developed our 'Big Top Doc' booklet, this explains how tours run and explains and prepares the volunteers for each tour.

About you
We have so many different types of people on PWB tours ranging all ages, abilities and personalities. So lets hear about them!
Can you introduce yourself?
Your Experience
This is our section about sharing your experience in the main aspects of leading a team with PWB. You may want to include situations whilst on your previous PWB tour if it is suitable. This can be confidential if required within the PWB management team.
Experience in Managing teams
Have you managed an effective team before? What was your task? What was your role within it?
Can you tell us about a time when a decision you made was challenged and how did you resolve it?
Tell us about a time when you were challenged on a decision that you made, it might be any situation that you have experienced either a right or wrong decision. How did you deal with it?
Experience in conflict resolution
Can you tell us about a time in which you experienced conflict in your life and how you resolved it? This could be a situation between friends, work colleagues or relevant situation.
Organisational Skills
Can you give us an example where you have organised a complex task with multiple factors to consider. Whilst on tour this role require multitasking and organising at various levels and will always include a need to be adaptable.
Working in challenging environments
Can you explain a situation in which you worked in a challenging environment? How did you cope with it at the time and how did you think retrospectively about your actions?
Previous PWB tours
Can you tell us a bit about your previous experience volunteering on a PWB tour (or other relevant experience)? How were the group dynamics, what would be the things you would have done differently?
Leading the team under pressure
You will be under pressure perhaps more than the team members, so think honestly about your self awareness and ability to lead a team under sometimes difficult circumstances. When there is lots to cover in a tour if nobody volunteers for a job as coordinator you will have to deal with this situation either assign it or escalate for support through the management team. Are there any aspects of leading the tour that you are already of aware that concern you?
What do you think you would enjoy in leading your team? What excites you about this opportunity?
Further information
You can include here any other information that is relevant to support your application.
Referee Details
Whilst on tour you will predominantly be woking with orphans and venerable children (OVCs) who may have had a difficult start in life. Children are venerable anyway, and OVCs particularly so. This means that all of our volunteers need to supply us with references in this form and further on in the selection process a police check also. We do this to keep everyone physically, mentally and legal safe.
This should be someone in your community that knows you well and can verify your conduct.
