Do you believe every child deserves to thrive in nature?

As Brighton’s first and only year-round outdoor nursery and Ofsted Outstanding setting, we’re looking for someone who understands that the woodland is the perfect environment for ALL children to flourish - and has the expertise to make that vision a reality.
What makes this role special
This is a chance to shape inclusive outdoor education for children aged 3-5 in one of Brighton & Hove’s most beautiful woodland settings.

· Planning and delivering high-quality outdoor Early Years sessions
· Reviewing and developing SEND and inclusion policies and practices
· Building relationships with parents, staff, and external professionals
· Supervising and mentoring the staff team
You’ll have a dedicated non-contact time each week to focus on inclusion leadership, planning and staff support.
