Welcome from the Head of Community, Traidhos Three Generation Community for Learning   

​

Thank you for requesting the application pack for the position of Environmental Educator General Facilitator with the Traidhos Three Generation Barge Program from September 2024. I hope that you find the information provided useful and that it encourages you to apply to join us. Traidhos Barge Program is based in Bangkok, but is part of the Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning in Chiang Mai. 

​

The students that we work with are mostly from international schools in Bangkok, where they follow either IB, British, American or other curriculum. They learn in English. Schools vary from being very international to being mostly Thai students. We also work with some Thai schools, especially Thai schools along the Chao Phraya River and Thai schools with Mini-English Programs. The class teacher accompanies the students on the trip. We usually work with class sized groups, breaking these down into activity and discussion groups of about 8 – 10 students to one of our staff. 

On trips we work in teams of three which always includes a bilingual teaching staff (Thai / English). Our staff are all graduates and have the necessary visa and work permit to allow them to be in Thailand. 

​

The Barge Program is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of participating  students and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  All staff are required to produce a recent criminal background check; to attend a safeguarding information session; and to agree to follow all safeguarding policies.

​

In the Summer of 2018, after a period of self study and preparation, the Barge Program was assessed by an independent auditor and found to comply with BS8848, the industry standard for trip providers. We work to maintain this level of operation.
