Deputy Head of Centreat Outdoor Learning Llangollen CIO | Bryntysilio Outdoor Education Centre
Brynty is an outdoor education centre in Llangollen, run by the charity Outdoor Learning Llangollen CIO. We use wild spaces, adventure and our 12-acre estate to help young people and adults build confidence and social connections through new skills and experiences. We have a 60-bed hall and a 40-bed Woodland Village, and a positive, pragmatic culture where we work as one team. Last year we welcomed 2,000+ young people from over 50 schools, delivered 6 grant-funded projects and grew our team to 14+. We've just got planning permission for a £7m refurbishment, so it's an exciting time to join.
This is a new role. You'll run the centre day-to-day, lead our staff team, keep everything safe and compliant, and deputise for the Head of Centre/Chief Officer. You'll also build partnerships with schools, funders and corporates to help us grow.
You'll need:
- Significant experience leading outdoor learning, adventure or personal development programmes
- Strong leadership and people management skills
- Experience managing risk, health & safety, safeguarding and incident response
- Experience managing a site, equipment and inspections
- Outdoor qualifications, current first aid and a full UK driving licence
- Enhanced DBS (or willingness to get one)
We offer:
- £42,000 with annual increments
- 40 hours a week, including some evenings and weekends
- 28 days' leave plus a pension that grows with service
- Short-term accommodation options
- Ongoing professional development, kit and use of centre facilities
We're a pragmatic, supportive bunch who like improving and like delivering.
