Outdoor Education Tutor - Alternative Provision

Location: Burnley area

Contract Type: Full-Time, Temporary (Maternity Cover)

Duration: September 2026 - Easter 2027

Salary: £135.89 - £168.80 per day

Are you passionate about changing gears and taking learning outside the classroom?

Tradewind is proud to be working in partnership with a leading Alternative Provision in the Burnley area to recruit an inspiring Outdoor Education Tutor. This rewarding role is a maternity cover position starting in September 2026 and running through until Easter 2027.

If you are someone who can engage vulnerable young people, build resilience through outdoor activities, and offer a fresh perspective on education, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As an Outdoor Education Tutor, you will not be tied to a traditional classroom. You will design and deliver practical, engaging outdoor learning programmes tailored to students who thrive outside a mainstream school environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Deliver high-quality outdoor education sessions (including bushcraft, team-building, and outdoor sports).

Adapt sessions to meet the diverse social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs of the students.

Manage safety and risk assessments effectively while maintaining an exciting learning environment.

Provide mentor-style support to encourage positive behaviour, teamwork, and confidence.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: Previous experience working within an Alternative Provision, Pupil Referral Unit (PRU), or with high-risk/SEMH youth.

Qualifications: Relevant outdoor instructional qualifications (e.g., Mountain Leader, Forest School Leader, Paddle Sports, Bushcraft) are highly desirable.

Skills: Excellent behaviour management skills, empathy, and a thick skin. You need to be a role model who can build trust quickly.

Logistics: A clean driving licence and access to a vehicle is preferred, as travel to outdoor sites around Burnley will be required.

Why Join Us?

Impact: Make a tangible difference to young people who genuinely need alternative pathways to succeed.

Support: Work alongside a dedicated, passionate team within a highly supportive provision.

Partnership Benefits: Access to ongoing professional development and competitive rates of pay via Tradewinds.

How to Apply

Ready to inspire the next generation through the great outdoors?
