Outdoor Learning Mentor

Outdoor Learning Mentor  – Exeter – £100–£105 – Full-time - Temp to Perm – Start ASAP

Ready to take learning beyond the classroom walls? This is your chance to support young people outside the traditional school setting — helping them thrive in the real world through adventure, nature, and hands-on experiences.

A specialist school in Exeter is on the lookout for a full-time Outdoor Learning Mentor. This is a temp-to-perm opportunity where you’ll be supporting students aged 5–16 who have been excluded from mainstream education and often face challenges including SEMH, SEN, or EHCPs.

Our approach is different — small class sizes, 1:1 support, and a strong focus on Learning Outside the Classroom (LOTC). Think beaches, woodlands, trampoline parks, aquariums — learning that re-engages students and gives them purpose.

Requirements for the role

• Experience in care, youth work, sports coaching, outdoor education, or SEN/mainstream schools
• A full UK driving licence, your own car, and business insurance – you’ll be transporting students to and from activities, so this is absolutely essential
• A love for the outdoors and a passion for helping young people reconnect with learning
• Resilience, empathy, and the ability to build strong, positive relationships
