Learning Development Officer - Bristol - ref. x60543419
An exciting opportunity to join a dynamic team developing and delivering a rail-education scheme connecting schools and young people to the rail industry through workshops, train-trips, and bespoke, local resources.
Platform Rail is a joint education programme for five Community Rail Partnerships (TransWilts, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Severnside and South Wessex). Community Rail Partnerships (CRPs) bring together local groups and partners along railway lines to work with the rail industry to deliver a range of community engagement and promotional activities.
They promote understanding of the importance of local railways, in terms of improving mobility and sustainable travel, community cohesion and wellbeing, and social and economic development.
Platform helps teachers to build their students’ knowledge of rail-safety, their understanding of sustainable and healthy travel, and their confidence in using trains. Schools are supported in building cultural-capital with out-of-classroom experiences; embedding sustainable learning into their curriculum; and promoting access to future opportunities available to young people through train travel.
