Role Overview
Are you a teacher who believes the best classroom has no walls? We are seeking an innovative Outdoor Education Teacher for a specialized SEMH (Social, Emotional, and Mental Health) role in Barnoldswick. This is a hybrid position designed for a practitioner who excels in non-traditional environments.
The Weekly Split:
2 Days: Specialised classroom-based teaching (Small group SEMH).
3 Days: Outdoor learning and adventure-based education.
We practice a "Sneaking Teaching" philosophy embedding core literacy, numeracy, and life skills into high-engagement outdoor activities so students learn without the pressure of a traditional desk-bound setting.
Key Responsibilities
Sneaking Teaching: Plan and deliver "stealth learning" where academic objectives are integrated into bushcraft, horticulture, and outdoor survival skills.
SEMH Support: Use the outdoors as a therapeutic tool to support students with complex emotional needs, attachment disorders, and EHCP targets.
Curriculum Delivery: Lead small-group classroom sessions for 2 days a week, focusing on re-engaging "hard-to-reach" learners.
Restorative Practice: Utilise trauma-informed de-escalation techniques to manage behaviour and build resilience.
