Duke of Edinburgh Freelance Instructor
£185 per day
The Duke of Edinburgh programme is hugely valued at King Edward VI school and plays a big part in the co-curricular programme. We actively encourage pupils to engage with the scheme, to stretch and challenge themselves in ways that help them develop personal qualities that will serve them so well in adult life. There are high levels of participation at Bronze and Silver levels at the School with some pupils also achieving the Gold award. Bronze Expeditions take place in the New Forest. Silver and Gold expedition regions include Dartmoor, Lake District, Peak District, Elan Valley and Snowdonia. King Edward VI School’s DofE department is run by a DofE Award Manager and Assistant Manager who lead most of the expeditions.
We are seeking to appoint enthusiastic freelance instructors to support the expedition section of the Award during the practice or qualifier expeditions. We are looking for those who share a passion for the outdoors and have an understanding of the value the Duke of Edinburgh Award brings to young people. You will hold and maintain valid qualifications and certifications required to deliver the Duke of Edinburgh Award program, including First Aid certification.
