Read More…I have worked as an instructor in outdoor education for around 17 years. I started as a trainee at a centre in the Brecon Beacons and since then have been fortunate to work at several centres in the UK as well as in the Ardeche in France. During my time in the industry, I have worked with a variety of ages from primary school pupils all the way through to working with vulnerable young adults as part of the Prince’s Trust team. To enhance my facilitation of groups in the outdoors I have gained qualifications in mountain walking, climbing and paddle sports amongst others. Before starting at Trewern I studied PGCE in secondary education with Outdoor Activities at Bangor University. I am looking forward to using my knowledge and love of the outdoors to provide high quality meaningful experience for the pupils that visit us here at Trewern.
Read More...I started my lifelong passion for the outdoors working as a Climbing instructor at The Warehouse in Gloucester in 1994. Climbing was and still is my main outdoor passion. In my early twenties I began a career in the Information Technology industry but was keen to use my spare time to volunteer with the Scouts. I gained valuable experience helping run various sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts Explorers and Network), as well as working with children and adults with vulnerable and challenging behaviour.
During my time with the Scouts I started to gain qualifications in Caving, Climbing, Hill Walking, Mountain Biking and Paddling. From here I started to work part time at various outdoor centres transferring my skills to school and Duke of Edinburgh groups. I’ve been lucky enough to work and lead trips to Australia, North America and Europe! Each trip was a fantastic opportunity to increase my experience and now really enjoy working full time in the outdoors.
