The Vacancy
Inspire people to connect with the natural world and see the impact of your work every day.
Join the Field Studies Council and help deliver outdoor learning experiences that stay with people for life.
Work with purpose
At the Field Studies Council, our mission is to create outstanding opportunities that inspire everyone to engage with and care for the environment.
Every day, you’ll play a part in that mission. From school groups experiencing the outdoors for the first time to adult learners developing their knowledge and confidence, the sessions you deliver will help people build a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Make a difference
As a tutor, you will deliver engaging science and geography field trips alongside a wide range of outdoor education experiences for Early Years, school groups, colleges, universities, families, and adult learners.
Your role will include planning and delivering sessions, adapting activities to suit different learners, and making sure everything you do is safe and inclusive.
You will also contribute to the development of new activities and work closely with a supportive education team to improve and grow what we offer.
When you are not delivering in the field, you will support the wider running of a busy education centre. This is an active role, and some weeks can be busy and demanding, but it is also highly rewarding work.
