Outdoor Education Manager

Campbell College wishes to appoint an Outdoor Education Manager to fulfil a role which has two key objectives:

• Lead and foster the development of an established CCF within the College community.
• Consolidate and extend the provisions and opportunities provided by our current Duke of Edinburgh Scheme.

Campbell College CCF works in partnership with Strathearn School.

• The position is a 4-day week role based on a 42-week working year. This has the potential to grow to 43 weeks a year, if the Duke of Edinburgh scheme expands to include a regular Gold Award group.
• The post holder will be expected to work during term time (39 weeks) plus 3 weeks to be worked during the school holidays, dates to be agreed in advance with the Contingent Commander and Senior Teacher i/c of Extra-Curricular Activities. Normal hours are 29 hours a week divided between CCF and Duke of Edinburgh roles. Included in this is 1 day a week allocated to Strathearn School. Currently contingent training is Strathearn on Tuesdays, Year 10 (Pioneers) at Campbell on Wednesdays and senior boys and girls at Campbell on Thursdays.
• There are joint camps and courses usually held during the Easter and Summer holidays. This position requires a level of flexibility and the successful applicant will be expected to work additional time after hours as required to meet the school needs, including weekends to support planned field trips/camps.

The post holder will report directly to the Contingent Commander and the Senior Teacher i/c of Extra-Curricular Activities. They will be from a military background and through previous experience and training will play a key role in maintaining the high standards of the CCF and the Duke of Edinburgh programme.

The SSI is a key Combined Cadet Force (CCF) staff member whose principal role is to facilitate, organise and deliver military and adventurous training to all members of the CCF.

The post holder will also have responsibility for the organisation, administration, promotion and potential expansion of the College's Duke of Edinburgh scheme across all age groups, working closely with the teaching and non-teaching staff who are currently involved with the programme.

1 day a week is allocated to the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.

This responsibility may also entail working with an Approved Activity Provider and working during the school holidays, weekends and evenings.
