The role requires you to develop, plan, and deliver various activities in primary schools
across north London and have the skills to assimilate new information and present it in the
context of the national curriculum.

Your capacity to devise creative solutions to convey sustainability-related information to
people with varying levels of knowledge is crucial and you will be experienced in working to
