South Harting, Petersfield - Hampshire

Experience preferable and would consider an apprentice

Competitive Salary and Package

Do you like playing in mud in all weathers, all year round?

Could you enjoy activities such as year-round learning walks identifying local flora, using tools, treats cooked on an open fire, whittling, and tying knots?

Can you show genuine enthusiasm when a young child discovers their 25th slug/snail/worm on a walk in the rain or picks up a stick and calls it a wand, a monster, a dragon tooth, a dinosaur bone, or a pirate's telescope?

Are you willing to sing and dance outside, regardless of being in tune, whilst wearing 7 layers for warmth, waterproof outer layers, hat, and gloves?

Can you focus on fun and allow yourself to be led by the children into their imaginative world?

Can you use the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and help ensure it is embedded throughout the day?

An exciting and unique opportunity to join our successful and popular forest school which has a friendly, supportive, and positive work ethos. We are here to help children learn, grow and flourish through play. At Diggers we provide memorable outdoor experiences.

In return, apart from the benefits of working outside in a relaxed atmosphere, in a beautiful location, we offer you an established friendly team, competitive salary, uniform, medical insurance, paid sick leave (dependent on length of service), extra paid holiday, an employee assistance programme, plus many more benefits to support your mental health and well-being.
