The Outdoors Group School is an Independent Special School that is based solely outside in a woodland setting for learners with SEMH and ASD needs. We believe in developing the whole learner not just their academic ability. We use a project-based method, allowing the learner to be completely autonomous, whilst contributing to a well-rounded education based on skills for lifelong learning and personal development.

The school caters for KS2 and KS3 learners (ages 7-14) and aims to provide a space for learners to develop skillsets and a growth mindset that they have been unable to in previous settings. We are currently going through the process of applying to extend our provision to include KS4. We work closely with learners’ support networks, both professional and familial and try to create a holistic and engaging place for learners to grow.

The Enrichment Instructor role is an innovative role where you will work with learners and staff. The offsite enrichment should link with curriculum outcomes based on The Outdoors School outcomes, as well as linking the school and the wider community. The role aims to support learners by engaging young people creatively, with responsibility, community and the world around them.

Are you looking for a job that is outdoors, fun and challenging and allows you to meet loads of fantastic people? Then, we have the job for you!

You will need to be energetic, friendly, enjoy being outdoors, have excellent time keeping skills and be highly organised. You must have great interpersonal skills and be able to work well as part of a dynamic team.
