Our client is looking for a dedicated and adaptable Teacher to join their therapeutic education team, where animals, nature, and outdoor learning play a key role in helping children and young people engage with education. You don't need prior experience in secondary education; what matters is a confident, innovative approach to cross-curricular teaching!

Why Join Our Client:
- A truly unique role - teaching in an outdoor, farm-based setting with a strong emphasis on experiential and therapeutic education.
- Small class sizes - working with young people in small group settings tailored to their individual learning needs.
- A hands-on approach - be prepared to roll up your sleeves and engage in farm-based activities, animal care, and practical outdoor learning.
