Are you a teacher, higher-level teaching assistant, or childcare worker looking for a fresh, new opportunity?
The Enquire Learning Trust
We are a multi-academy trust currently responsible for 32 academies in four clusters across the North of England; North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, Hull, Manchester, Teesside and North Yorkshire.
We work in complete collaboration with each of our academies and place a strong emphasis on school-to-school support and learning. Our academies work in collaboration with one another, sharing both their talent and ideas with others, giving employees the opportunity to learn from individuals within our other academies.
New Field Study Centre
East Whitby Academy has been chosen as the site for the Enquire Learning Trust’s exciting new residential centre. The field study centre is a new initiative designed to create inspiring places and experiences for our children.
Our Opportunity
Our brand new centre offers overnight stays for up to 2-nights, 3 days; we anticipate in our busiest times there will be 2 groups per week.
You will work closely with the centre manager, school catering team, and the visiting schools to provide exciting and memorable experiences for pupils during their stay. Each school will have a bespoke package made for them, planning the activities and resourcing needed.
You will deliver a range of activities, with a core commitment to delivering the highest quality outdoor field work.
This is a wonderfully exciting and multifaceted role, you will act as a teacher to lead and deliver sessions, you will be a planner putting together bespoke packages for schools, you will act as a local guide – you may have the joy of showing pupils the wonderful town of Whitby for the first time. This role is varied, no two days or school trips are the same.
You will not be expected to stay overnight, however you will work closely with the schools to ensure evening programmes are ready to be delivered independently each night and making sure pre-booked evening meals and breakfasts have been organised with the school catering team.
There will be an expectation that the days will be slightly different to “school timings” as such the candidate will need to be available for traditional office hours of 9-5/5:30 rather than school hours.
We are looking for an individual who shares our passion to join the newly established team responsible for delivering a first-class offer of outdoor curriculum-based learning in our new field study centre.
Required Skills/Knowledge:
- Experience in leading school visits
- Significant experience working with children and young people
- A team player with a commitment to supporting colleagues and working cohesively to solve problems and ensure the best experience for service users
- Knowledge of primary geography, art, history and science curriculum
- Ability to communicate well with a variety of stakeholders and build relationships with external agencies, visiting staff and pupils
- Detailed knowledge of the local area would be a significant advantage but if this isn’t already held, ability to develop this knowledge over time would be essential.
Although the pay scale is based on the teachers’ pay scale (MPS), this post is suitable for anyone from a teaching or support staff background. If the successful applicant is from a teaching background, and they want us to, we will endeavour to explore the teachers’ pension scheme.
The Enquire Learning Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Please note this post is in regulated activity and exempt from the rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS criminal records and barred list check for work with children. An online search may be undertaken as part of the recruitment process on information available in the public domain. Candidates should disclose anything that may be relevant in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
