About the Role

We are looking for a warm, enthusiastic and nurturing Forest School Practitioner to support our beautiful Nursery provisions from September 2026.

The Barn is a special part of Hillside Gems, set within the peaceful grounds of a quiet 11th-century church in a small, caring community. Within walking distance, there is a stunning nature park with streams, walking paths, woodland space and a beautiful river, offering rich opportunities for children to explore, discover and connect with the natural world.

The Terling site is also surrounded by a peaceful woodlands village with idyllic streams and quiet walks. The perfect place for nature exploration and forest school adventures.

This role is ideal for someone who loves working with children outdoors and understands the value of nature, movement, curiosity and hands-on experiences in early childhood. Working alongside the Outdoor Learning Manager, the successful candidate will help create a safe, calm and inspiring learning environment where children aged 3+ can build confidence, independence, resilience and school readiness.

At The Barn, children attend from 9.00am – 3.00pm. The working hours include supporting the daily set-up, running of sessions and pack-away of the provision.

At Terling, the children currently attend 9-2pm. Successful candidates to be available to 3.30pm.

About The Barn

The Barn is a small, outdoor-focused preschool provision for up to 16 children. Its size allows for thoughtful, personalised learning where every child can be known, supported and encouraged.

The sessions will gently support school readiness through outdoor exploration, fine motor activities, PE sessions, name-writing opportunities and everyday independence skills, such as learning to change independently.

At The Barn, the outdoors becomes the classroom. Children will have opportunities to question, investigate, experiment and learn through nature in a practical and meaningful way.

Contribute to observations and children’s learning journeys in line with the EYFS
Communicate positively and professionally with parents, carers and colleagues

Opportunities to work alongside and learn from a qualified teacher
