The Role: Education, Reimagined Forget the four walls of a classroom. We are looking for an innovative, hands-on Narrowboat Teacher to lead our canal-based learning program in Burnley. In this role, you won't just be teaching; you'll be captaining a unique learning environment for students who find mainstream school a challenge. You will use the narrowboat as a living classroom to teach life skills, teamwork, and practical academics in a calm, therapeutic setting. QTS is not essential. We value personality, practical boat-handling skills, and a passion for supporting vulnerable young people above traditional teaching credentials. Your Daily Voyage Practical Instruction: Teach students the fundamentals of narrowboat life-steering, lock navigation, boat maintenance, and water safety. Bespoke Learning: Deliver basic literacy, numeracy, and life skills through "stealth learning" (e.g., calculating distances, reading maps, and budgeting for supplies). Mentorship: Act as a positive role model, helping students regulate their emotions and build resilience in a low-pressure environment. Safety First: Ensure the boat remains a safe, clean, and compliant space for all learners. What We're Looking For Maritime Competency: Strong experience handling narrowboats (RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman certificate is a massive bonus). AP/SEND Experience: Experience working with disengaged youth, Autism, or ADHD is highly desirable. The "Right" Temperament: You are calm under pressure, highly adaptable, and can build rapport with teenagers who have had a tough time in education. Reliability: You are ready to start ASAP and can commit to a consistent Monday-Friday schedule. Why Apply? Unique Work Environment: Trade the staff-room for the towpath. Autonomy: Shape the curriculum and the "vibe" of the boat yourself. True Impact: Watch students who "shut down" in classrooms thrive in a practical, outdoor setting. Work-Life Balance: Term-time only, allowing for a healthy life outside of work. How to Apply Ready to set sail? We want to hear why you're the right person to guide our students through choppy waters. Send your CV and a brief cover note to (url removed)
