About the role

We are delivering the National Education Nature Park and Climate Action Awards, which aim to empower children and young people to make a positive difference to both their own and nature’s future.

This free programme provides educators with the resources, support and guidance needed to put nature at the heart of education. Embedding biodiversity and climate within everyday teaching and learning will give every child and young person in England the opportunity to develop a meaningful connection to nature, contribute to nature recovery across the country and build resilience for a changing world.

Having launched in October 2023 with a large library of curriculum linked resources, guidance for educators and innovative new activities that support children and young people to participate fully in the Nature Park process, the programme is moving to a new phase of continuous improvement and expansion of provision.

This role will strategically plan, recruit and manage the work of contactors and/or a small team whose primary focus is on further developing and curating our suite of quality assured curriculum-linked resources and educator guidance, led by best practice in climate pedagogy. This will complement climate education by providing opportunities to turn knowledge into practical, positive action. The resources span Early Years to Key Stage 5 and multiple subject areas.

About you

As a passionate advocate for inclusive climate and biodiversity education in schools, you will have experience of developing and delivering curriculum linked learning activities for formal educational settings. A deep understanding of and commitment to evidence-based pedagogy is key to the role.

The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to form and maintain good relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. As well as an in-depth knowledge of the National Curriculum for England, awareness of the wider education landscape and government policy in education and/or environment will be useful.

Understanding of co-design approaches for learning activity development as well as an understanding of best practice in monitoring and evaluation will be an advantage.
