Senior Instructor at Blackland Farm Outdoor Centre
Full Time / Permanent - Salary £25,884 pa
Since the purchase of Blackland Farm from Girlguiding in April 2024, Blackland Farm Outdoor Centre has gone from strength to strength. We are now in a position to recruit a team of Senior Instructors to support the operational and instructing team.
The post requires an experienced outdoor facilitator who can ensure high quality delivery of outdoor educational programmes and outcomes, ensuring best practice and operational compliance throughout and maintaining a responsive point of contact with group leaders. The Senior Instructors provide mentorship to the instructing team, helping develop them practically and professionally, and ensuring delivery outcomes are met. They also support the operational needs of the centre, including acting as Course Directors, assisting with compliance, scheduling activity sessions and staffing, administration, and assisting with planning, review and evaluation of activity process and procedure. The Senior Instructors will have an opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the site and their own development by managing projects that help the department to achieve its objectives and and strategy targets, such as activity development, specialist training needs, and site improvements.
The Senior Instructors should be able to demonstrate the ability to take forward the operation department’s strategy and leave their own positive mark on the department, it’s staff, and it’s journey, which builds on the long history of high quality outdoor learning that has been delivered at Blackland for decades.
