Overview

Froglife has a vacancy for a Trainee Learning Officer. This is a one year fixed term position, based at the Froglife office in Peterborough with travel across the city, Fenlands and Northamptonshire.

The position will report to the Learning Officer who manages our Peterborough Green Pathways project.

Green Pathways is a BBC Children in Need funded project working with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. The project supports those with extra difficulties in their lives to improve green spaces for wildlife and people, and to learn about and enjoy the environment. The age limit for the project is 5-18, with a focus on secondary aged participants. Green Pathways aims to improve confidence, social skills and positivity, whilst improving knowledge and enjoyment of the environment, and learning new skills. Sessions are delivered to small groups, families and individuals and last around 2 hours. Activities include tree climbing, environmental art, habitat management, wildlife surveys and wildlife gardening.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop their skills and knowledge of wildlife conservation as well as delivery of education outside of the classroom.
