Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is a leading conservation charity in the UK and has an excellent reputation for the development of 'green prescriptions', working to improve people's wellbeing through engagement with the natural environment.

This work is the basis of our alternative education provision and has proved successful and popular with a wide range of referrers, students and their carers, including Wiltshire Council, for whom we are approved providers.

Due to this we are looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Education and Wellbeing Officer to support and shape our expanding Care Farm provision.

Experience of working with children and young people with additional needs is essential, as is an understanding of person centred practice and the use of nature, horticulture, animals and creativity to support the holistic education of the children, young people and adults with whom we work.

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is fully committed to safeguarding the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk. All WWT staff will receive safeguarding training and must ensure that they comply with WWT's safeguarding policy.

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is equal opportunity employer.

We are committed to developing an inclusive and diverse organisation, in which everyone feels supported, valued, and able to be their full selves.

To achieve our vision of creating a world richer in nature, we need talented people, and more diverse people, on nature's side.
