Are you a highly motivated practitioner, able to take responsibility to enthusiastically drive forward this new and exciting outdoor learning project?

If so, we would love to hear from you.

Ideally you should have completed or be willing to work towards Forest Kindergarten Training or equivalent. Ideally you should hold Baby & Child First Aid Training and Child Protection Training and be willing to work towards or already hold outdoor equivalents.
