Part of Hertfordshire's Services for Young People, the Centre is highly regarded for its standards of excellence and professionalism in delivering high quality outdoor learning experiences.

Preference will be given to applicants holding at least one leadership/instructor award in the following:

  • Archery (GNAS/Archery GB),
  • Mountainbiking (MIAS/MBLA L1)
  • Navigation (Lowland/Countryside Leader or BEL)
This should be supported by a current First Aid qualification that will last for the duration of the appointment.


Successful applicants will spend most of their time delivering outcome-based sessions to visiting groups but will also be expected to assist in maintaining equipment and developing resources with other staff to support the delivery of the activities on offer.
