Outdoor Experience and Education Manager
We are looking for an innovative and empathic manager to lead and drive forward our outdoor education and experience programmes at Fordhall Organic Farm, providing practical and nurturing experiences for children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
As a community-owned farm, experiences are at the heart of the Fordhall Community Land Initiative’s work. We believe that by creating memorable, fun experiences we will be taking the first steps in influencing behavioural change. With proven management capability and experience of working with both vulnerable adults and young people, you will lead and coach our delivery team to ensure our services remain person-centred, nurturing, and supporting all those who access our outdoor services.
With compassion and empathy, you will empower those we work with to achieve new heights, build their independence, and their feeling of self-worth through connections to the land, soil, and nature. Leading a strong and dedicated team of 4-5 staff, your exceptional communication skills, knowledge of safeguarding, attention to detail, and positive approach will ensure we are continually improving our services, recording our impact, working within budget, and developing strong relationships with our partners.
This role is about having a positive and lasting impact on the hearts and minds of all those who attend the care farm, youth project, and other outdoor or educational experiences at Fordhall Farm, and whilst doing so, you will be nurturing the soil and environment around you.
