We’re looking for a compassionate, resilient, and proactive SEND Outdoor Tutor to join our team and support Primary‑aged children with additional needs in our Farm and Forest School setting.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on, rewarding role where no two days are ever the same. You’ll work closely with teachers and outdoor educators to create meaningful learning experiences that build confidence, communication, and emotional wellbeing.

• Has basic outdoor, forest school, or farm skills, or a strong willingness to learn.
• Is a team player who communicates clearly and builds positive relationships with children and colleagues.
• Holds (or is working towards) a relevant SEND/TA qualification or has proven experience supporting children with additional needs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support children’s learning, emotional regulation, and social development in farm and forest school sessions.
• Use positive behaviour strategies to help children feel safe, understood, and ready to learn.
• Assist in preparing and maintaining engaging outdoor learning spaces.
• Work collaboratively with teachers and specialists to implement personalised learning plans.
• Encourage independence, curiosity, and a love of the natural world.
