ORCA (Organisation Cetacea) is a whale and dolphin conservation charity dedicated to the long-term protection of whales, dolphins and porpoises and their habitats. ORCA's vision is to have oceans alive with whales and dolphins, and their mission is to give everyone who cares about whales and dolphins an active role in safeguarding their future. We have an exciting new opportunity for an enthusiastic Ocean Conservationist to join the team delivering the DFDS programme in the English Channel this season. You’ll be working onboard the Cotê d’Albâte and Seven Sisters ships, sailing between Newhaven and Dieppe for one return crossing per day (Wednesday-Sunday). *Note: The ability to speak both English and French is essential for this role.* The Ocean Conservationist Programme is a vital part of ORCA’s education and outreach work, inspiring thousands of passengers about the wonders in our waters every year. We have been partnered with DFDS for over 15 years, and Ocean Conservationists work remotely and independently on board their ships to give the passengers an experience of a lifetime. We are looking for passionate individuals to showcase the diversity and abundance of wildlife that can be spotted across the English Channel, encouraging passengers to help protect the whales and dolphins. This education work is conducted through lectures or other interactive activities with members of the public (both adults and children). In addition, you will be collecting scientific data based on your sightings using the OceanWatchers app, data that contributes to the protection of whales and dolphins.
