Outdoor Education Specialist (Behaviour Mentor / SEMH)

Outdoor Education Specialist | Behaviour Mentor / Learning Support (SEMH & Alternative Provision Setting)

Revolve Collective are proud to be working in partnership with a specialist SEMH provision at one of their sites in Stoke-on-Trent to recruit an Outdoor Education Specialist / Behaviour Mentor to join their team on a full-time, permanent basis.

About the role

We are seeking a passionate and resilient Outdoor Education Specialist / Behaviour Mentor who can deliver engaging, hands-on learning experiences for young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

This is a highly rewarding role where you will use outdoor and experiential learning to support engagement, emotional regulation and personal development.

The role will involve facilitating a range of group-based outdoor activities, including:

* Hiking and walking programmes

* Rock climbing and adventurous activity sessions

* Gardening and horticultural learning

* Team-building and confidence-building outdoor interventions

As an Outdoor Education Specialist, you will play a key role in helping pupils re-engage with learning through practical, structured and therapeutic outdoor experiences.

This Outdoor Education Specialist role is ideal for someone who thrives outside of a traditional classroom environment and is passionate about making a meaningful impact on young people who have experienced barriers to education.

About the setting

This is a specialist SEMH educational environment supporting young people who may present with:

* Social, emotional and mental health needs

* Trauma-related experiences

* Difficulties with emotional regulation and engagement in education

* Disrupted or inconsistent educational backgrounds

The school provides a nurturing, structured and supportive approach where relationships are at the heart of everything. Staff work collaboratively to create safe, consistent and engaging learning experiences.

Candidate requirements

We are keen to hear from individuals who:

* Have experience in SEMH, SEND, alternative provision or youth work settings

* Are confident delivering outdoor learning or physical education-based activities

* Can build strong, positive relationships with young people

* Are calm, resilient and adaptable in challenging situations

* Have a passion for experiential and outdoor education

Qualifications in outdoor education, sports coaching, youth work or teaching are desirable but not essential if strong relevant experience can be demonstrated.
