Wivelsfield Primary School and Nursery is looking for an enthusiastic Leader of Outdoor Learning and Forest School for approximately 9 hours per week. The pattern of working hours is negotiable. If you have a love of the outdoors and enjoy working with children, this could be the job for you.
Situated in the heart of Wivelsfield Green, near both Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, the school is single form entry, with a recently established nursery. The school benefits from spacious modern premises with extensive grounds, including a dedicated forest school area, pond, gardening plots and access to adjoining fields.
Ideally, you would hold a recognised Forest School qualification, but If you are interested in this role and still training, we would welcome your application. In addition to the advertised hours, there may be further work available leading some sessions for our nursery children and, if you are qualified, you could run an after school club and some holiday activities on site as a freelance provider.
