£25,985 per annum

Fixed Term Contract for 12 months initially
Are you passionate about connecting young people with nature? Do you believe nature is for everyone? Do you genuinely want to make a difference?
We have a fantastic opportunity for someone with the drive, skills and experience to support schools taking part in Generation Wild, our nature connection programme for primary schools, children and families in disadvantaged areas. This ground-breaking project uses story, music, art, performance and puppetry to create a sense of magic and adventure, engaging a wide range of children irrespective of their background or ability.
You will be joining us at an exciting moment, as we launch in-person support for the first time - bringing an inspiring programme of nature‑connection activities to school grounds and local nature spaces.
70,000 children have already taken part in Generation Wild and together they’ve completed over 270,000 nature activities. Your work will help us reach even more young people and take this work to the next level.
Join us as we inspire a new generation of nature lovers.
