This is a fantastic opportunity for enthusiastic and motivated environmental education and
field studies practitioners to join us.

Situated in a unique position on the shores of the Solent and the edge of the New Forest
National Park, Calshot Activities Centre is well equipped to offer school students a broad
range of environmental experiences.

As an Environmental Educator you will be delivering sessions on topics such as Marine Ecology,
and River and Coastal Geography. We are always looking to develop our sessions to best meet the
needs of our schools, so you must be flexible and motivated to contribute to the development of
the department.

Environmental Educators also teach a wide range of land-based activities including indoor
climbing, archery, skiing and team tasks (for which you will receive full training). Located on
the end of a spit, Calshot also has a fantastic water sports department. We deliver kayaking,
sailing and windsurfing sessions in which you can be involved depending on personal experience
and qualifications.

You should have a broad experience of Field Studies or Environmental Education, ideally having
worked in an outdoor centre environment. It is essential that you hold a degree or relevant
equivalent qualification in a related field. Skill and/or qualifications in any land based
activity are advantageous, particularly skiing, climbing, archery and team building.
Fundamentally, we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated staff who passionately believe in the
value of outdoor learning.
