Outdoor Education & Enrichment

  * Deliver hands-on learning experiences that develop teamwork, confidence, and resilience.

  * Ensure all activities are carried out safely in line with risk assessments and safeguarding procedures.

Teamwork & Professional Responsibilities

  * Work collaboratively with teachers, therapists, and care staff as part of a multidisciplinary team.

  * Monitor, record, and report pupil progress and behaviour.

  * Participate in training, CPD, and staff meetings.
