We operate five days a week with three cohorts in the woods and fields of Prospect Lake, on the traditional land of the Songhees, Esquimalt, Malahat and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. As a hybrid learning community, we create opportunities for students to be led by a dynamic team of teachers, forest mentors and practicum students – our Learning Team.

The Senior Forest Mentor is an individual experienced in leading groups of kids in outdoor education and a naturalist with ecological and botanical knowledge. The Senior Forest Mentor will have a toolbox of activities rooted in supporting children as they learn and discover their relationship with the land, themselves and one another.

The Senior Forest Mentor works alongside our BC-certified teachers and additional Forest Mentors as a member of the EPIC Learning Team.

We are looking for someone who embodies caring leadership and who desires to build emotional safety within the group by building connected relationships with each student and responding to challenging behaviours in ways that support children’s emotional health.

Are you passionate about reimagining education? Do you enjoy getting muddy, pausing to watch a slug cross the path, marveling at wildflowers, and helping build strong connections and community? We’re seeking a creative and empowering educator who is excited to inspire learning, curiosity, and discovery in a nature-rich environment.

Experience holding and leading a group of elementary age children for hours in an outdoor setting.

Familiarity with, or curiosity and commitment to, learning about attachment-based methods in order to keep a child’s heart soft and create a culture of connection.

Exhibits emotional self-awareness.
Is highly adaptable and able to take initiative.
Is able to work independently as well as collaboratively with other educators and can lead a group or support the one leading.
Practices an attachment-based, developmental approach (e.g., collecting before directing) and is confident in their ability to create a culture of connection.
Uses clear, compassionate, respectful communication skills.
Has knowledge of West Coast botany and of history of the area.
Is comfortable and experienced with being outdoors in all kinds of weather for extended periods of time.
Has wilderness or remote first aid and CPR level C certificates.
