Join the Canopy & Campfires Freelance Network

We are currently looking to expand our network of freelance practitioners to support the growing demand for our Wild Wellbeing strand—a nature-based intervention designed for young people who benefit from calm, structured support and the space to develop at their own pace.

We’re particularly interested in hearing from individuals with a background in therapeutic, pastoral, or creative work with children and young people, and who have a strong interest in outdoor approaches. Practitioners with experience supporting primary-aged children would be especially welcome.

We are seeking people who are:

• From the Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, or East Lancashire areas

• Interested in developing and delivering programmes in outdoor settings

• Experienced in working with children or young people with additional needs (e.g. SEN, behaviour, anxiety, trauma, or complex presentations)

• Confident, motivated, and comfortable building relationships with schools, referrers, or families

• Open to flexible, freelance work with potential to grow and shape their own practice

Whether your background is in counselling, education, social work, creative arts, or other therapeutic disciplines, we’d love to hear from you if you’re passionate about the potential of nature-based intervention.
