The Opportunity We are seeking a resilient and creative Forest School Teacher to work within our Alternative Provision (AP) in Burnley. Unlike a standard classroom role, you will be working 1:1 with a specific student who requires a bespoke, outdoor-led curriculum to re-engage with education.
This is a temp-to-perm position, offering the opportunity to secure a permanent contract after an initial successful trial period.
Key Responsibilities * Bespoke 1:1 Delivery: Plan and lead individualised Forest School sessions tailored to the student’s EHCP goals and sensory needs.

* Alternative Pedagogy: Use the outdoor environment to teach core skills, focusing on emotional regulation, self-esteem, and practical "life skills."

* Relationship Building: Act as a consistent, positive role model for a learner who may have SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) needs or ASC.

* Risk Management: Conduct dynamic risk assessments for tool use, fire lighting, and outdoor exploration to ensure a safe learning space.

Requirements * Qualification: Level 3 Forest School Leader (essential) and QTS/QTLS or relevant Unqualified Teaching experience.

* Experience: Proven track record of working 1:1 with "at-risk" youth or students in an AP/SEND setting.

* Mindset: A trauma-informed approach and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

* Skills: Practical outdoor skills (bushcraft, horticulture, or nature conservation).

Why Join This Provision? * Autonomy: The freedom to design a curriculum without the constraints of four walls.

* Career Path: A clear route from a temporary contract to a permanent, secure role in Burnley.

* Support: Access to a dedicated SLT team specialised in alternative education.
