Waikato Regional Council

Environmental Education Facilitator

This is a unique opportunity to drive key areas of sustainable practice and environmental thinking into schools and communities within the region, laying down a foundation for current and future behaviour change successes.

This will involve meaningful comprehension of, and interface with programme partner organisations and their kaupapa – specifically Toimata Foundation and Enviroschools

Enviroschools is national programme with MfE backing that is held by founding partners Toimata Foundation and Te Mauri Tau. It has been running for over 20 years and has been evaluated several times by professional researchers demonstrating its effectiveness in schools to help support a change in attitude over time towards more sustainable ways of living. Toimata Foundation supports professional development of Facilitators through regular hui and has a requirement of all facilitators to complete the Level 1 Toimata training.

We are seeking passionate professionals with a demonstrated expertise in sustainability; experience facilitating; familiarity with the education system and motivation to offer practical support to schools on their sustainability journey. Existing community networks to support environmental education and teaching qualifications or experience in NZ schools are valuable.
