Woodland Campsite Assistant, temporary contract, £13/hr, Jun-Sept 2026

This is an exciting opportunity to spend the summer season working outdoors in a stunning location on the Sharpham Estate.

Please note this is a practical support role and NOT a facilitator’s role. We are looking for a well-organised and flexible person to join our team on a temporary contract for four months (1st June to 14th September 2026) in the role of Woodland Campsite Assistant, helping the Woodland Camp Manager with the day-to-day running of our woodland retreats in the grounds of Sharpham House. 

About you

We are looking for a Woodland Campsite Assistant who is well organised, practical, hardworking and resilient, with excellent communication skills and the ability to work on their own initiative and in all sorts of weather, mostly independently whilst also being flexible.

You will need a love and passion for supporting people to connect to the natural world and for creating safe and nurturing spaces. You will need experience of working outdoors including some practical camp craft skills, as well as the ability to manage multiple priorities. Flexibility, a ‘can-do’ approach and a good sense of humour are essential. An interest and understanding of mindfulness and the retreat environment would also be an advantage.

You will need your own small car for this role.
