Are you passionate about nature, outdoor education, and making learning accessible for all?
Do you have experience supporting children and young people with SEND to thrive in inclusive, experiential settings?

Join the Bore Place team – an organic estate, education centre, and beacon of sustainability in the heart of the Kent countryside. We are seeking a dedicated Outdoor Learning Tutor to help us deliver transformative, nature-based programmes for children, young people, and families – particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

🌱 About the Role

As part of our Education Team, you will:

• Work with mainstream schools, SEND groups, and family-focused programmes.
• Plan and run outdoor learning sessions, school holiday clubs, residentials, and community events linked to sustainability, food, farming, and nature.

You’ll be working in a person-centred way, shaping experiences around each learner’s needs, and helping them grow confidence, life skills, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
