Stable Futures is entering an exciting new phase of growth.
A brand-new alternative provision site is being developed to support Amegreen Education’s new secondary SEN school, Juniper House. This provision will play a vital role in supporting the transition and development of new pupils joining the school, alongside our established settings at Haywards Farm and Northcroft School.
As part of this expansion, we are developing a Horticulture and Outdoor Culinary department within the new alternative provision—including polytunnels, growing spaces, and outdoor cooking facilities—designed to provide meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that connect food, land, and life skills.
We are seeking an experienced and creative Horticulture & Culinary Lead to establish and lead this provision from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to shape a department that blends growing, cooking, and real-world skills, while supporting learners to re-engage with education and explore future pathways.
Stable Futures is an Alternative Provision working with children who have faced significant challenges accessing mainstream education. We support their individual learning journeys through experiential, practical, and therapeutic approaches.
Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities for children to thrive through hands-on learning, life skills, and positive experiences.
Purpose of the Role
As Horticulture & Culinary Lead, you will take overall responsibility for the leadership, development, and day-to-day running of the Horticulture and Outdoor Culinary Provision.
You will play a central role in designing and delivering a high-quality, practical curriculum that serves learners aged 5–17 across Amegreen Education settings and external referrals. This includes developing growing areas (including polytunnels), establishing outdoor cooking spaces, and creating seasonal programmes that link food production to preparation and cooking.
You will lead and support a team of learning mentors within the provision, ensuring high standards of delivery, consistency of approach, and a positive, safe learning environment.
The role also includes developing opportunities for learners to gain insight into careers in horticulture, land-based industries, and catering, supporting progression pathways and real-world skill development.
Working closely with the Centre Manager and supported by the wider leadership team, you will help embed a provision that builds confidence, independence, and engagement through practical, meaningful learning experiences.
