Higher Level Teaching Assistant Outdoor Learning

Job details

Herefordshire Pupil Referral Service (HPRS) provides education to pupils unable to attend mainstream school for various reasons. The successful applicant will be primarily based at Outdoor Provision at Dinedor Outdoor Centre three days a week and two days working across our centres.

We provide a safe, secure and welcoming learning environment in which young people can grow as responsible, independent and self-confident learners.

We have an exciting opportunity for an outdoor professional to work to their strengths across our service. Whether or not it is their specialism, we require the successful candidate to be able to work as part of a small team in an outdoor environment and have a genuine interest and experience in outdoor learning.

We currently undertake activities such as bush craft, land management, bee keeping, forest school, hiking, climbing, paddle boarding and have further plans to expand the provision.

Experience of working in a PRU setting would be advantageous but not essential. We are looking for someone with a passion for outdoors, someone who is approachable, reflective, calm and cares about the disadvantaged.

Our aim is to re-engage our pupils in learning and to provide them with a high-quality curriculum where they can develop their skills in a safe and secure environment.

You must be:

• Fully committed to learning, high quality teaching and raising standards of all students.
• Passionate about your subject; able to inspire and motivate students and staff.
• Committed to ensuring all students reach their potential
• Able to recognise opportunities and face challenges, whilst maintaining your sense of humour and care for young people.
• Capable of promoting partnerships and collaborative working.
• A role model for our students and staff.
