Work with GlobeBusters

GlobeBusters are expanding.  Since we offered our first expedition in 2005 we have grown significantly.  In 2011 we will operate six separate expeditions.  These include two shorter Explorer Trips, an Overland Expedition Trans Canada and three Epic Expeditions – Discover Our Earth, Trans Americas and Silk Road East.   In total we will have expeditions out on the road totalling 14 months next year alone.

This is as busy as we ever want to be.  Our company goal is not to be Thomas Cook, but to continue to be the World’s Leading Overland Motorcycle Expedition Company.  This means that to remain close to all our customers and for us still to be able to enjoy regularly travelling with them we choose to remain as a small company.  Our ethos of providing a genuine overland experience and of personal service and care has not changed.   We take people on amazing journeys to unusual destinations.  However with the growing demands on our small team we need to recruit one person to complete our team.  We are seeking an

Support Crew

GlobeBusters are expanding and have several new and exciting epic expeditions in the coming years and so we are looking for a small number of additional support crew. We get lots of enquiries about joining the team here. However as the old adage says, many apply but few are chosen. If you are serious then please be aware that our Expedition Leaders are not full time employees but work on a freelance basis undertaking one or two expeditions a year from 5 weeks to 8 months. We have very stringent standard for our support crew. If you think joining GlobeBusters sounds like a nice easy way to see parts of the world you haven’t been to and get paid in the process then you are not the person for us.

Our support crew are made up of experienced travellers. They have experienced travel in remote places including third, and developing, world countries. Some have operated as support crew on international rallies such as the Dakar and Rally Tunisia. They have crossed borders, negotiated with bandits and policemen, dealt with medical and motorcycle emergencies. They can think on their feet and remain calm in an emergency or in the face of change or challenge. While doing so they understand that the experience of our customers is key. Understanding the social dynamics of the group and managing, leading and looking after our clients remains at the forefront of their minds. Our minimum requirements for expedition support crew
