The Ideal Candidate*Qualified: Holding QTS, QTLS, or a Level 3 Forest School Leadership qualification.
*Outdoor Expert: Confident leading sessions in all Lancashire weathers; experienced in risk-benefit assessment.
*Resilient: A "firm but fair" approach with the empathy required to support vulnerable young people.
