Freelance Outdoors Instructor

Thomas's Outdoors are based at Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields in Putney Vale, backing out onto Wimbledon Common. We also work across sites in London, Surrey, Kent, Norfolk and Sussex. Our main focus is the integral outdoor programs which are ingrained through all of the Thomas’s Schools. These programs are an exciting, adventurous and progressive way to enhance children’s learning in the great outdoors. They also include a residential program based at various beautiful locations across the UK. Children start their journey with us from as early as Nursery and continue until senior school at Year 11.

Another large element of Thomas’s Outdoors is our ‘Adventure’ program which runs through the school holidays and is a cross-school initiative enabling students from each school to come away with us on trips both abroad and in the UK. Examples include a canoeing trip to Sweden, a yachting trip to Croatia and a number of UK based camps. TOD is a professional and close knit team with a strong sense of community and a passion for challenge. 

Applications are invited from dynamic, enthusiastic and innovative candidates to join our friendly and exciting team within our flourishing, forward-thinking family of schools. Successful applicants will have an interest in bringing our particular brand of outdoor education alive for a range of children, and adding energy and excitement to our sessions.
