Head of Outdoor Education

Full Time (Term Time Only)

Our school has an extensive, successful, and dynamic programme of outdoor education that has been carefully nurtured and well led for many years. It is a key part of the all-round education we offer. 

With over 200 pupils involved in our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors programmes each year we are one of the largest providers of the D of E award across the South West. The demand for this and other outdoor programmes has remained strong, despite Covid, and keeps growing. We are keen to develop and extend our outdoor provision for both our Senior School and Prep School pupils.

We are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic, and highly organised Head of Outdoor Education, to lead and develop further provision across the School. With an ability to manage with care, diligence, and excellence, and the drive to inspire engagement across all key stages from pupils and staff alike, the successful candidate will be a valued member of our community, passionately championing the importance and benefits of outdoor education for all. 

Working in a professional, welcoming and vibrant environment, you will ensure each pupil is nurtured and encouraged to reach their full potential. 

In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to the wellbeing and development of all our staff, promoting continuous professional development, pension, staff discount, membership of the superb Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre and free meals. Please note that this role will include weekend working.
