Using your school based experience you will engage young people in our work through a programme of curriculum-linked workshops and informal learning sessions: building strong relationships with schools, youth groups and families, and working to develop links with the wider community.
With an interest in marketing, you’ll be an outstanding communicator with strong project management experience, you’ll need excellent presentation skills and a track record of working closely with schools and young people. A thorough knowledge of the education, safeguarding practices and of current environmental and sustainable development issues will also be key, and ideally you’ll hold a recognised teaching qualification.
