We have ambitious plans to make our much-loved centre more modern, accessible and inclusive, and to help promote a more sustainable future.
The Hill End Charitable Trust are looking for an enthusiastic and organised person to be our new project coordinator – working with our Centre Director on a wide variety of tasks to create and deliver the projects we need to transform our site and buildings.
The Hill End Outdoor Education Centre has been providing unique outdoor learning experiences to children and adults since the 1920s.

The Project Coordinator will not necessarily have formal project management experience, but must be able to pull together a wide-ranging set of requirements, create and improve processes and practices that will allow us to better manage our site development in future.
This role might suit someone wishing to work either three full days or part of each working day. We are happy to discuss flexible working hours.
