The Opportunity

This opportunity is open to any teachers who are dedicated to the progress of their students and are inspired by the chance to positively change their pupil’s lives in a way they will never forget. Perhaps you enjoy or would like to experience overseas travel? You like the idea of outdoor activities and are ready to try something new or are up for a challenge?

Please download the 'Your Journey Starts Here' flyer for a brief introduction to what is involved in our expedition programmes and the benefits of being an Outlook Link Teacher.

Is this for you?

Being involved in an expedition programme is an incredibly rewarding experience both personally and professionally. Your constant support and commitment to the programme is essential and taking part requires not only energy, enthusiasm and a sense of humour, but also the willingness to experience new cultures, unfamiliar surroundings and new situations. If you are not wholeheartedly excited by the concept of an expedition - or if you are looking to go on a holiday - you need not read any further!

The Link Teacher’s role

The Link Teacher is an indispensable member of the expedition team. You can be assured of the complete support of Outlook Expeditions in every way possible. The role of the Link Teacher is:

• To act as a point of contact between Outlook and the students
• Encourage the group through the fundraising and build up programme
