specialised outdoor animator

Specialised outdoor animators plan, organise, and safely deliver outdoor animator activities. They may also support one or more assistant outdoor animators, and be involved in aspects of administration, front office tasks and tasks related to activity base and equipment maintenance. They work with demanding clients, in terms of either their particular needs, abilities or disabilities or at the higher levels of skill and hazardous environments or conditions.

The most in-demand skills for this role include empathise with outdoor groups, manage feedback, manage groups outdoors, evaluate outdoor activities, research areas for outdoor activity, assess risk in the outdoors. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives specialised outdoor animator a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
