Learning and curriculum designers environmental charity - Volunteer

Overview

Learning and curriculum designers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals.

We are looking for a volunteer to develop learning content and resources, such as lesson plans and educational materials, to support our environmental learning goals.

• Develop online learning resources for our website (ongoing project)
• Design or tailor existing lesson plans and activities for schools
• Support the creation of ELWP’s Under 18s volunteering policy
• Support outreach efforts to promote ELWP’s existing learning programmes

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer‑led charity that won a 2024 New London Architecture award and has raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14‑acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces.

Ideal candidates have experience in curriculum design, teaching, or educational resource development. Creativity, strong writing skills, and an understanding of outdoor or environmental education will be valuable. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role.
