As part of Delta, Education Trust, Delta Bespoke’s vision is “Happiness in the pursuit of learning”. This means we really care whether pupils love or hate their learning, so we work hard to create a space where pupils learn together to become knowledgeable, self-aware, independent and happy people who make a positive difference, wherever life takes them. Are you an enthusiastic individual who can bring this vision to life and make a real difference to children’s lives?
Your role within Delta Bespoke’s Adventure Learning department will be to run The Quay School’s outdoor education provision.

We believe that the best work gets done in an environment that’s enjoyable and which values, supports and encourages the development of its employees. With that in mind, we support our staff in achieving relevant outdoor qualifications that they are working towards. The role reflects that of teachers here at the school, meaning paid school holidays in which you can pursue your own adventures. In return, we expect our employees to work hard and be committed to helping us achieve our vision and share our values.
