What skills and experience we're looking for

This is an exciting opportunity for an educator from a formal or informal background who has experience or interest in working with young people in the outdoors. The role will involve working in a small team to facilitate high quality learning opportunities in the outdoor environment, as well supporting the personal and social development of the pupils involved.

Pupils will be attending one or two days a week and working towards nationally recognised awards and qualifications.

Experience of working in a PRU setting would be advantageous but not essential. We are looking for someone with a passion for outdoors, someone who is approachable, reflective, calm and cares about the disadvantaged.

Our aim is to re-engage our pupils in learning and to provide them with high-quality learning opportunities where they can develop their skills in a safe and secure environment.

You must be:

  • Organised and able to professionally communicate with key stakeholders.
  • Comfortable with working outdoors and passionate about supporting young people.
  • A problem solver and able to work on your own initiative, as well as work within a small team environment.
  • Committed to ensuring all students reach their potential
  • Able to recognise opportunities and face challenges, whilst maintaining your sense of humour and care for young people.
  • Capable of promoting partnerships and collaborative working.
  • A role model for our students and staff.
