This is a fantastic opportunity for enthusiastic and motivated environmental education and field studies practitioners to join us.

Situated in a unique position on the shores of the Solent and the edge of the New Forest National Park, Calshot Activities Centre is well equipped to offer school students a broad range of environmental experiences.

As an Environmental Educator you will be delivering sessions on topics such as Marine Ecology, and River and Coastal Geography. We are always looking to develop our sessions to best meet the needs of our schools, so you must be flexible and motivated to contribute to the development of the department.

Environmental Educators also teach a wide range of land-based activities including indoor climbing, archery, skiing and team tasks (for which you will receive full training). Located on the end of a spit, Calshot also has a fantastic water sports department. We deliver kayaking, sailing and windsurfing sessions in which you can be involved depending on personal experience and qualifications.

You should have a broad experience of Field Studies or Environmental Education, ideally having worked in an outdoor centre environment. It is essential that you hold a degree or relevant equivalent qualification in a related field. Skill and/or qualifications in any land based activity are advantageous, particularly skiing, climbing, archery and team building. Fundamentally, we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated staff who passionately believe in the value of outdoor learning.
