You'll be working in a person-centred way, shaping experiences around each learner's needs, and helping them grow confidence, life skills, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Why Join Bore Place?
At Bore Place, we believe in learning by doing – connecting people to food, farming, and the natural world in ways that are inclusive, empowering, and rooted in sustainability. You'll be part of a passionate, supportive team that's making a real difference.
