Early Years Facilities Manager

New Early Years Facilities Manager at Emerson

Emerson is seeking someone to set up a new childcare facility that initially would comprise child care for very young children (up to 3 years old) and a toddler group. The aim is that the facility would be able to provide all-day care based on the Emerson Campus. Emerson hopes that this will eventually lead onto the possibility of having crèche facilities for the courses and possibly a kindergarten.

Applicants should have several years experience in the Steiner Waldorf approach and a level five qualification. Experience and a wish to work with very young children would be expected. Further, a knowledge of the Pikler method for very young children, and /or an openness to work with this method, would also be valuable.

Emerson will soon be starting a new Early Years training programme and it would also be expected that the new manager of the early years care facility would work closely with the leaders of the training, so that the former would be an expression of what was being taught by the latter.

Applicants should contact Robert Lord on +44 (0)781 777 8351 or email to

Please send a CV with your application and a short letter explaining why you are attracted to the position.

Garden Manager

Emerson Garden Project

Emerson Trust is seeking a Garden Manager to take over responsibility for the Emerson estate. The aim is to turn what at present is a financial liability into an asset. How this is done will depend to a certain extent on the ingenuity of the successful applicant.
Probably that person will then have working knowledge of running a public garden or an equivalent experience.
 
Applicants should have experience and a keen interest in biodynamics. Knowledge or experience in landscaping and water-gardens would also be useful. In addition applicants should be willing to work alongside our current gardener for a year before she retires, so that her extensive knowledge can be passed on.
 
The Garden Manager would have to interact with various other departments of Emerson Trust, so a flexible, team player is essential.
In the future Emerson is considering involving special needs and/or those undergoing rehabilitation from a major illness in the garden.
Applicants would not necessarily need to have had experience in these fields, but would be expected to show that they are capable of running a multifunctional project.
