As a leading provider of outdoor education in the UK, every year we recruit remarkable individuals to join our team and inspire young people. If you love the outdoors and want to help us create unforgettable experiences, then The Bushcraft Company is the place for you!
At The Bushcraft Company, every member of the team is driven to make our school trips the very best experiences they can be. Whether it’s learning how to light a campfire for the first time, building up the courage to sleep in a self-built shelter, or developing a new level of independence and resilience, we relish the moments of excitement, amazement, pride, independence and resilience that our school trips offer young people.
All roles are based in our fantastic woodland locations, which our bushcrafters call home throughout our May-October season. Our staff work together, as a part of a close-knit team, towards a shared goal; to make our school trips unforgettable. Working across several UK woodland and activity centers, from Yorkshire to Kent, our outdoor jobs are all about a love of adventure, teaching and the great outdoors!
This role involves management of a team of Tribe Leaders and Field Cook, as well as the day-to-day responsibilities of running an inspiring residential camp and facilitating activities for students during their stay with us. We will teach you all you need, then you will ensure our high standards, quality, pastoral care, safeguarding, health and safety are maintained throughout your camps.
Responsible for one of our student ‘Tribes’, the Tribe Leader’s role is to ensure that our high level of pastoral care and safeguarding is maintained throughout their trip. You will be looking after your tribe through the many activities, ranging from wild swimming, and archery to traditional Bushcraft skills like fire lighting and shelter building.
Field Cooks are the heart of our camps and food is a huge part of what we do. Within this role you will help engage young people with what they are eating, how it’s made and where it comes from. You will be responsible for providing high quality delicious meals for students, teachers and your fellow team. An important part of the role is ensuring that the storage, preparation and serving of all food is well monitored, maintained and controlled.
The role of Estate Logistics Assistant is crucial in bringing our adventures to life and ensuring that our beautiful woodland venues are maintained to give the same lasting remarkable experience to every school. Providing crucial support between the Estate Manager, Estate Coordinator and the teams on camp, Logistic Assistants ensure all equipment, resources and food are present and correct, in order to provide students with the very best back to nature residential.
From inspiring the next generation to a passion for the outdoors, find out what our Bushcraft Camp leaders love about the role.
“Staff were professional, empathetic yet very relaxed in their delivery and relationship building with pupils. The atmosphere that was created in camp was really awesome!”
There is nothing better than watching children run wild and connect with nature. Every day is so varied and exciting. It can start by singing a song while serving breakfast and lead on to creating a magical woodland shelter with sticks and mud. The role really lets your imagination run wild and allows you to see children grow and open up to new experiences. One of my favourite parts of the job is encouraging an initially shy and timid child transform to a mud covered woodland creature running through the woods, living the dream, by the end of their stay. The Bushcraft Company truly gives children an opportunity to learn in a different format from the traditional school curriculum. This supports children who might struggle elsewhere to really excel and realise their potential. It allows those high energy children a place to vent and be loud without feeling out of place. For me the woods has always been a somewhere I feel most comfortable and the ability to show that to the next generation is extremely fulfilling for me. I absolutely love this job and the opportunities it gives me every day.”
