The City of Edinburgh Council has developed an exciting new initiative for school communities across the City to engage in wilding local spaces.

Its aim is to draw together key Council priorities and providing authentic, learner-lead outdoor learning experiences.

Our project is expanding, and we are seeking additional Project Workers to increase capacity and match demand. These are tertiary posts with no set number of hours. As such we welcome applications from candidates seeking to work part time and flexibly.

The roles will be a combination of in-person delivery and engagement with schools alongside development and planning work. The successful candidates will work at various locations around the city.
