NEW POSITION- FULL TIME, FULL YEAR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATOR
https://www.nrtofeaston.org/
Welcome to NRT, serving the environment and community for over 50 years and growing!
This is a new position at NRT, as our education department continues to expand its offerings. NRT’s environmental educators work in a collaborative atmosphere with other Trust staff who provide excellent individual and community programs to diverse audiences using the specific features of the NRT’s 154-acre Sheep Pasture property.
Educators design and implement environmental programs for pre-K through 12, scouts, families, and adults in this position. Educators work within the education team for collaboration but should be able to manage assigned responsibilities independently as needed. Experience providing hands-on learning experiences and utilizing resources of outdoor learning environments are highly desired.
The successful candidate will have the ability to independently read, present, and create factually accurate STEAM curriculum as part of the Trust’s school-age learning programs. Familiarity with MA science standards is highly desirable. Enthusiasm for working with children of varied ages is necessary for this position, as a significant amount of time is spent teaching students in grades K-6; students up to college age and adult learners are also involved in programming at times, as well. Educators also are responsible for daily operation and presentation of the Trust’s summer camp programs, vacation programs, and other seasonal education events.
Educators are involved with the operations of the Trust, including creation and operation of events, public promotion of the Trust and its programs, fundraising assistance, and other duties as needed. The successful candidate should use good professional presentation and judgment in all interactions.

Animal care is not a primary component of this position.
Technology skills desired: MS Suite; Google applications, including Google Docs, calendar; Constant Contact; social media/ website management applications. Will train the right candidate as needed.
