Utilise the unique canal-side environment to teach life skills, teamwork, and independence.

Act as a positive role model and mentor, fostering a sense of belonging and achievement.
Manage resources and maintain a calm, organised, and effective learning space on the boat.
What We're Looking For:
Significant experience working with young people with Special Educational Needs.
An understanding of various learning disabilities and behavioural challenges.
Exceptional leadership and communication skills, with a patient and empathetic approach.
Problem-solving ability and a resourceful mindset.
A passion for the outdoors and a willingness to work in a unique, non-traditional setting.
First Aid and safeguarding training (or a willingness to undertake this).
Why Join Us?
Pioneer a new and exciting approach to SEN education in the heart of Burnley.
Work in a peaceful and inspiring environment.
Make a profound, life-changing difference for young people.
Enjoy professional autonomy and support for your development.
