• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
• Someone who can inspire awe and wonder through creative, resourceful teaching
• A team player excited to help build our future science lab and curriculum
• Experience or training in Forest School (or willingness to train)

If you’re ready to make science magical—even without microscopes—and believe the forest is the best classroom of all, we’d love to hear from you!
