We’re looking an enthusiastic and dynamic person to join our Projects Team as a Project Coordinator, with a focus on developing the area of our woodland that we call the “Path of the Little People” This is a sensory and experiential trail for young people allowing them to engage with nature, create their own sounds and stories and take part in hands on learning. The Project Coordinator will deliver activities and educational programmes on the Path of the Little People with groups of children of school and preschool ages. They will also have the chance to go on the road taking what we can do into schools and youth clubs to introduce them to what we can do. The Project Coordinators role will also include the further development of the Path as a well-loved asset; working alongside the Project Development Officer to create new and exciting experiences for visiting young people on the Path and estate more widely.

Wiston Lodge is an independent outdoor centre set in 50 acres of woodland in the South Lanarkshire Countryside. Since 2007 the charity has built a reputation for providing inclusive, outdoor experiences and opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to help achieve their potential. We work in partnership with many organisations but are not dependent on Scottish or local government support and generate our own funds through sales and fund-raising.

We are currently looking to fill vacancies on the Board of Trustees. We want our Board to represent the diverse nature of our work and invite people with a wide range of experience to apply. The Trustees work in a voluntary capacity with the executive staff to oversee the management and development of Wiston Lodge. We are especially keen to recruit people with skills or experience in marketing, events, HR, project management or business development. An interest in outdoor learning and its role in personal development is essential to understand the Wiston Lodge model.
