Freelance Nature Instructor (Primary School CCA)

About Nature Society Singapore

Nature Society Singapore (NSS) is a non-profit organisation working on nature conservation, environmental education and advocacy in Singapore and the region. Our work is guided by three pillars: reconnecting people with nature, restoring habitats and ecological connectivity, and protecting biodiversity and natural spaces.

About the Role

NSS runs a nature education programme for schools that is aligned to MOE structures, so students can relate what they learn to the nature around them. As an instructor, you will deliver this programme as a CCA at partner primary schools, over 10 to 15 sessions per school.

  • • Freelance, paid per session.
  • • You are expected to take all sessions at your assigned school, so students have the same instructor throughout. If you are unable to continue, NSS will arrange a replacement.
  • • Sessions take place during school CCA hours.
  • •  Deliver sessions using content and materials provided by NSS.
  • • Any adaptation of content requires prior approval from NSS.
  • • Engage and manage primary school students during sessions, indoors and outdoors.
  • • Coordinate session logistics with the school’s teacher-in-charge.
  • • Follow administrative instructions from NSS, such as attendance and feedback, as provided.
  • • Follow NSS’s briefing on expectations, including how to respond to students’ questions.
  • • Follow NSS and school safety procedures for all activities.
  • • Represent NSS professionally and in line with NSS’s work and approach.
  • • Share information in a balanced way. Do not push personal views or opinions on students.
  • • Do not take or share photos or videos of students without prior permission from both NSS and the school. This includes personal social media and portfolios.
  • • Experience teaching or managing groups of primary school-age children.
  • • Interest in nature. Knowledge of Singapore’s biodiversity is an advantage.
  • • Reliable and punctual, and able to commit to the full run of sessions at a school.
  • • Available on weekday afternoons during school terms.
  • • Willing to register as an MOE-registered instructor upon engagement. NSS will guide you through the process.
  • • First aid certification (CPR and AED) is an advantage.

Interested applicants, please email your CV with a short write-up on your experience working with children to [email protected], with the subject “Freelance Nature Instructor”.

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
