Due to growth and continued investment within the department, we have a new opportunity for a Lecturer/ Course Manager in Agriculture.

The successful candidate will:

Teaching Expertise: (Desirable) experience delivering Level 3, T-Level, or A-Level qualifications.
Sector Appreciation: A strong interest in and understanding of the agricultural sector, particularly in relation to livestock production.
Desirable: Practical experience in agricultural business, people management, or the agricultural industry is an advantage but not essential.
Qualifications: A PGCE, Cert Ed, or equivalent teaching qualification is preferred, but we welcome applications from experienced trainers who are willing to undertake further teacher training.
Skills: Strong communication, planning, and organisational skills, with a commitment to fostering student success.
