Barnoldswick, Lancashire, United Kingdom
Education
Immediate Start
£28.6k - £31.9k Annual
Full-Time
Location: Barnoldswick (Barlick), Lancashire

Salary: Up to £31,850 per annum (Depending on experience)

Job Type: Full-time, Temporary to Permanent

Start Date: September 2026

Qualifications Required: None - full training provided. Armed Forces background highly valued.

Are you looking to transition your military experience into a rewarding role that combines classroom teaching with the great outdoors?

We are seeking a resilient, structured, and inspiring individual to join our Alternative Provision (AP) in Barnoldswick, Lancashire. This role is perfect for an ex-military professional or veteran who wants to make a real-world impact on young people who have struggled in mainstream education.

You do not need a teaching qualification to apply. We value leadership, discipline, life experience, and a passion for mentoring above pieces of paper.

The Role

In this role, you won't be managing a chaotic classroom of thirty students. Instead, you will be working in small groups and 1:1 settings with secondary-aged pupils who need a different approach to learning.

You will blend core classroom education with outdoor learning, utilising the natural environment around Lancashire to teach teamwork, resilience, and life skills.

Classroom & Beyond: Deliver engaging, practical lessons inside the classroom, and seamlessly transition to outdoor projects, sports, or bushcraft.

Mentoring: Act as a strong role model, helping students build confidence, structure, and emotional regulation.

Behaviour Management: Use your calm-under-pressure military mindset to de-escalate challenging situations and support students with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

What We Are Looking For

Army / Armed Forces Background: Ideally suited for individuals looking to transition into education or youth instructing.

An Outdoor Enthusiast: Someone who thrives in nature and can use the outdoors as a tool to engage disengaged youth.

Resilience & Authority: A natural leader who is firm but fair, patient, and highly adaptable.

No QTS Required: You do not need to be a qualified teacher. Substantial life experience, trade skills, or military instructional experience is exactly what our students need.

What We Offer

Excellent Pay: Up to £31,860 per annum.

Temp-to-Perm Pathway: A stable, long-term career transition with a clear route to a permanent contract.

Comprehensive Training: Full support, safeguarding training, and trauma-informed behavioural mentor ship provided.

The Best of Both Worlds: Spend your weeks splitting time between active outdoor education and structured classroom mentoring.

How to Apply

If you are ready to use your skills to change a young person's trajectory, we want to hear from you.
