The role
You will:
- Co-design and evolve a practice-led curriculum in bioregional learning and leadership (online and in-person).

- Confidence holding participatory online and/or in-person learning spaces
- Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable engaging with diverse stakeholders
- Ability to work both collaboratively in a small team and independently
- Competence with digital tools for learning and collaboration (e.g. Zoom, Google Workspace, Mighty Networks, etc)
Desirable skills & experience
You might also have:
- Practical experience in bioregioning, regenerative design, community organising, landscape stewardship, or related fields.
- Experience partnering with universities, colleges or independent learning centres.
- Skills in monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), especially participatory approaches.
- Some experience of working with both the Global North and Global South.
- Experience with fundraising or developing paid learning offers.
- Familiarity with South Devon or another bioregion, and the ability to ‘read’ place.
- Arts-based, creative or storytelling practice connected to systems change or ecology.
If you don’t meet every single criterion but feel a strong resonance with the role, we warmly encourage you to apply.
What we offer
- The chance to help shape a pioneering bioregional learning programme with an active international network.
- A reflective, supportive working culture with mentoring from the Learning Programme Lead.
- Flexible, trust-based hybrid working.
- Significant scope for your own learning and practice development.
