Job Description
As a Forest School Leader, you will play a central role within a unique Forest & Farm School nursery in Southwater, West Sussex (RH13). This is far more than a traditional childcare role. You will help create engaging outdoor learning experiences that encourage children to explore, investigate, problem-solve and develop a lifelong appreciation for the natural world. The setting is part of an award-winning Nurseries & Early Years group recognised for its commitment to outdoor learning, creativity and high-quality early years education. Children benefit from woodland exploration, nature-based activities, animal encounters and child-led learning opportunities that support their emotional, social and physical development.

As a Forest School Leader, you will have the opportunity to deliver inspiring Forest School experiences, encourage risk-aware play, support children's confidence and independence, and create memorable learning experiences that simply cannot be replicated within a traditional indoor nursery environment.

This role may suit an experienced Forest School Leader, Forest School Practitioner, Outdoor Learning Practitioner, Early Years Educator or Nursery Practitioner with a strong interest in outdoor nursery education, Forest School provision and nature-based childcare.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Forest School sessions and outdoor learning activities

Deliver woodland learning experiences that encourage exploration and discovery
Complete risk assessments and maintain health and safety standards
Support safeguarding and child protection procedures

Work collaboratively with nursery practitioners and leadership teams
Maintain accurate observations and developmental records where required
Contribute to the continued development of Forest School provision across the setting

Ability to safely deliver engaging outdoor activities and learning experiences
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
Able to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team
Also suitable for: Forest School Practitioner, Outdoor Learning Practitioner, Outdoor Education Practitioner, Early Years Forest School Practitioner, Outdoor Nursery Practitioner, Forest School Teacher, Early Years Educator, Nursery Practitioner

Company Culture
As a Forest School Leader, you will be joining a team that genuinely embraces outdoor learning as part of everyday practice. Inspired by both Forest School and Reggio Emilia principles, the setting encourages children to learn through exploration, creativity, curiosity and meaningful experiences in nature. Staff are supported through ongoing development opportunities and work within a collaborative culture that values innovation, child-led learning and exceptional early years education.

For professionals who are passionate about outdoor education, this offers the opportunity to spend more time in woodland environments, supporting children through hands-on experiences and helping them build confidence, resilience and a connection with the world around them.

Apply Today
If you are looking for a role where you can combine your passion for childcare, early years education and outdoor learning, this is an opportunity to be part of something truly special. Join a setting where nature, creativity and child-led discovery shape every day, and where your skills can make a genuine difference to children's lives. Apply today to become part of this exciting Forest & Farm School environment in Southwater, West Sussex.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, so early interest is warmly encouraged
