Discover Forestry is growing – and we’re looking for a dynamic programme coordinator to help deliver our inspiring education programmes across primary and secondary schools. If you’re passionate about environmental education, skilled in communications, and thrive in a hands‑on operational role, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

This is a full-time contract role based from a home office , with travel across New Zealand to engage directly with schools and students. You’ll lead both programme delivery and communications , ensuring smooth coordination, impactful storytelling, and strong engagement with educators, stakeholders, and the wider community.

Discover Forestry is a non‑profit forestry industry funded organisation governed by the Southern North Island Wood Council and reporting will be to CEO Erica Kinder.

Join our team of four passionate forestry communicators working to connect young minds with the natural world.

Key responsibilities

  • Coordinate scheduling, logistics, and resource distribution across schools.
  • Liaise with teachers and facilitators to support programme implementation.
  • Monitor participation and feedback to inform future planning.
  • Maintain accurate records and reporting systems.
  • Communications

  • Develop engaging content for newsletters, social media, and stakeholder reports.
  • Collate student work and feedback for class journals and public‑facing materials.
  • Ensure consistent messaging across internal and external channels.
  • Represent Discover Forestry at school events and community forums.
  • What you’ll bring

  • Strong organisational and communication skills.
  • Experience in programme coordination, education, or stakeholder engagement.
  • A passion for sustainability, storytelling, and working with young people.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and adapt messaging for different audiences.
  • Willingness to travel and engage face‑to‑face with schools across Aotearoa.
  • Forestry or environmental knowledge is an advantage but not essential in this role and we use volunteers from forestry organisations across New Zealand to help with school delivery.
  • We provide allowances for travel, accommodation and all expenses related to programme delivery.

    Ready to help shape the future of forestry education?

    Apply now and be part of a team that’s making a lasting impact.
