BOOK A TRIAL DAY

Join Our Wild Team

We believe that childhood belongs outdoors and that the best learning happens under the open sky. Our team is a community of mentors dedicated to fostering wonder, resilience, and a deep respect for the natural world in every child we guide.

​

We are looking for grounded, curious, big-hearted humans to join our circle. Whether you're a guide, an educator, a maker, a storyteller, or someone who simply lights up around children and the natural world, we'd love to hear from you. Our team grows slowly and intentionally — we hire for presence, character, and a genuine love of this work as much as for skills on paper.

If something below speaks to you, apply. If nothing fits today but you feel called to what we're building, send us a note anyway — the right people have a way of finding us.

Forest Lead Guide level II

We are searching for a passionate Nature Educator to lead our outdoor discovery sessions. You will guide children through sensory-rich forest experiences, fostering their curiosity and connection with the local ecosystem. Our Lead Guides create environments where children feel safe to explore, take healthy risks, solve problems, build friendships, and develop confidence through authentic experiences outdoors. Whether leading a day in the forest, exploring a mountain trail, visiting a farm, navigating with a compass, or building shelters from fallen branches, you'll be the steady, encouraging presence that transforms ordinary moments into unforgettable ones.

Locations: Paris, St Germain en Laye, Versailles

What you'll do

  • Lead our outdoor programs for mixed-age groups of children (approximately ages 3–12)

  • Create a safe, engaging, and joyful learning environment where curiosity leads the day

  • Facilitate activities such as hiking, nature exploration, wilderness skills, storytelling, creative arts, games, environmental education, and hands-on projects

  • Balance structured experiences with child-led discovery and free play

  • Support children's emotional regulation, social development, confidence, and independence

  • Model kindness, respect, resilience, and environmental stewardship

  • Mentor and support Assistant Guides, helping maintain a positive and collaborative team culture

  • Communicate warmly and professionally with families during drop-off, pick-up, and throughout the program

  • Help care for equipment and outdoor spaces, always leaving nature better than we found it

  • Contribute ideas and creativity that make each season unique and memorable

You Are

  • You genuinely love working with children and believe some of the best learning happens outside.

  • You feel at home in forests, parks, mountains, beaches, rivers, and open spaces—and don't mind changing weather, muddy boots, or long days outdoors.

  • You have experience leading groups of children through camps, outdoor education, schools, scouting, adventure programs, environmental education, or similar settings.

  • You're calm under pressure and able to confidently manage group dynamics while creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

  • You know when to step in with guidance and when to step back to let children discover things for themselves.

  • You're dependable, organized, and naturally take ownership.

  • You're an excellent communicator with both children and adults.

  • You are social media savvy and know or willing to learn how to edit videos and post regularly on social media.

  • English fluency is required. Additional languages—including French—are a plus.

  • First Aid certification is preferred (or willingness to obtain one).

  • You are legally eligible to work in France.

You will thrive here if

  • You believe childhood should include climbing trees, building forts, catching insects, getting muddy, asking questions, and exploring the natural world.

  • You enjoy creating magical experiences rather than simply following lesson plans.

  • You value relationships over rigid schedules.

  • You see yourself as both a mentor and a lifelong learner.

  • You're excited about helping build something meaningful from the ground up.

  • If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

with up to 25 children ages 3–12 spending their days immersed in free play, wilderness skills, nature crafts, and weekly field trips by public transport.

This is hands-on, feet-in-the-dirt work. Days are unrushed but full. You'll co-hold the rhythm of gathering circles, discovery blocks,

  • Help manage transitions, snack times, and the weekly field trip logistics

  • Support children's emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and physical safety in an outdoor environment

  • Set up and break down materials each day; care for the site so we leave it as we found it

  • Communicate warmly with parents at drop-off and pick-up

You Are

  • Genuinely love being outdoors in all weather and with children of mixed ages (3–12)

  • Bilingual English–French strongly preferred (English fluency required; this is an English-immersion environment)

  • Experience with children in camp, school, scouting, sports, or family settings — formal teaching credentials not required

  • Calm, grounded presence; comfortable with noise, mud, big feelings, and the occasional scraped knee

  • Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to the full four weeks

  • First aid certification a plus 

  • Eligible to work in France

Bonus if you bring

  • Skills in one or more of: foraging, knot-tying, fire-craft, nature art, music, storytelling, animal handling
