Job description: We are looking for a enthusiastic, creative and reliable forest school lead to deliver sessions at an infant school in Bath. The sessions will take place within the school grounds and you will be responsible for taking a class at a time. The sessions run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays, 1-3.15pm each day. This role is for school term time only.
Person specification: We are looking for a enthusiastic, reliable and experienced forest school practitioner to deliver these sessions. You will be working with children aged between 4 and 7 and will require sensitivity, patience and appropriate communication skills. If you feel that you fit this description then we would love to hear from you.
For an experienced Forest School practitioner I would say giving up 3 days of potential work for £120 is a little low. That is less than £20/hour for the contact time alone. The FSA leader has also to do preparation/clearing up work in their own time. I charge £35/hr for Forest School leadership, which actually works out at probably £20/hr all in.
