Organisation: Bioregional Learning Centre (BLC)
Location: South Devon / hybrid
Hours: 0.8 FTE (4 days/week)
Contract: 3-year fixed term (with intention to continue, subject to funding)
Closing Date: 13th March 2026
Bioregional Learning Centre (BLC) is a place-based systems-change organisation rooted in South Devon. We work with communities, institutions and landscapes to grow the capacities needed for a regenerative, climate resilient, bioregional future.
We are seeking a Bioregional Learning Manager to help design and run a new learning programme in bioregional practice and to coordinate the emerging Bioregional Learning Alliance – an international community of practitioner-educators.
This is a new kind of role. We're not looking for a 'finished article' or a conventional academic. We're looking for someone who is values-led, curious and organised, and who wants to co-create something pioneering alongside others.
The role
You will:
Co-design and evolve a practice-led curriculum in bioregional learning and leadership (online and in-person).
Plan and manage courses and events, including a South Devon learning pathway and international partner offers.
Coordinate the BLA, supporting meetings, communication and light-touch governance.
Build and steward relationships with practitioners, communities and partner institutions (including universities and learning centres).
Support communications, evaluation and programme administration (budgets, contracts, logistics).
Essential skills & experience
We expect you to bring most of the following:
Deep alignment with regenerative, place-based and more-than-human ways of working
Experience designing, coordinating or delivering adult / professional learning (formal or informal)
Strong project and event management skills: planning, scheduling and managing multiple strands
Confidence holding participatory online and/or in-person learning spaces
Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders
Ability to work both collaboratively in a small team and independently
Competence with digital tools for learning and collaboration (e.g. Zoom, Google Workspace, Mighty Networks, etc)
Desirable skills & experience
You might also have:
Practical experience in bioregioning, regenerative design, community organising, landscape stewardship, or related fields.
Experience partnering with universities, colleges or independent learning centres.
Skills in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), especially participatory approaches.
Some experience of working with both the Global North and Global South.
Experience with fundraising or developing paid learning offers.
Familiarity with South Devon or another bioregion, and the ability to 'read' place.
Arts-based, creative or storytelling practice connected to systems change or ecology.
If you don't meet every single criterion but feel a strong resonance with the role, we warmly encourage you to apply.
What we offer
The chance to help shape a pioneering bioregional learning programme with an active international network.
A reflective, supportive working culture with mentoring from the Learning Programme Lead.
Flexible, trust-based hybrid working.
Significant scope for your own learning and practice development.
