**About the Penpont Project**
Launched in the summer of 2019 on a 2,000 acre estate in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, the Penpont Project is the largest intergenerational nature restoration project of its kind anywhere in the world. It has brought young people, farmers, foresters, landowners and others together to restore nature and culture in this special place. Co-led by a Youth Leadership Group of 20 passionate teenagers from the area surrounding Brecon and across the UK, this game-changing project demonstrates how youth leadership and ambition can advance nature’s recovery at a time of acute ecological crisis. Our aim is to establish Penpont as a nationally significant, transformative educational site where young people can connect deeply with nature and raise their voices to influence the direction of nature recovery across the UK.

As an innovative and unique project in the UK context, the Project has garnered major media attention, including from the BBC and the Guardian.

**About the role - Penpont Outdoor Education Officer**
This is an exciting role for a self-motivated, inspiring and able communicator, who shares our passion for youth-led solutions to the climate and ecological crisis. You will be responsible for developing and delivering on-site education and environmental action programmes for groups of young people, so that they can learn about and participate in regenerative farming, nature restoration and decision making at the Penpont Project site. In doing so, you will play a vital role in nourishing the present and future of a groundbreaking and unique initiative with the potential to change the landscape of ecological restoration across the UK.

These programmes will showcase Action for Conservtion’s flagship intergenerational approach to nature restoration at Penpont and form a central pillar in our efforts to inspire young people from the local area and further afield to initiate similar projects in rural and urban areas. Alongside education and engagement activities on site, you will also lead on the delivery of outreach programmes in local secondary schools, where you will empower young people to connect with nature, engage with the site at Penpont and design and deliver youth-led environmental action projects in their communities.

- Lead on the coordination of the Penpont Project’s Youth Leadership Group by organising site visits, involving them in activities and in the further development of the project strategy and management plan, and supporting the recruitment and succession of group members to ensure continuity.
- Coordinate visits for school groups and young people, including managing safeguarding, health and safety, travel logistics, communication with teachers, and the delivery and facilitation of sessions, involving other team members and/or external experts as necessary.
- Monitor, evaluate and report on the effectiveness of our work at Penpont and our outreach activities in the wider community, with the support of the Penpont Project Manager.
- Contribute to the communications output of the Penpont Project through social media, YouTube, blogs, newsletters, articles, policy papers and talks.
