Based in the heart of the agricultural sector, we provide a collaborative and supportive environment where educators thrive, and students excel.
Due to continued growth and investment within the Agricultural Department, we have two fantastic opportunities for Lecturer / Course Managers to join the team!
About the role
This is a teaching-focused position ideal for someone who is passionate about education and has a genuine interest in the agricultural sector. You do not need to be an expert in livestock production, but an appreciation of the field and its importance in the broader context of business, ethics, and people management is essential.
As a T-Level Lecturer, you will deliver high-quality lessons that combine theory with practical applications. You will play a key role in supporting students as they develop the skills and knowledge needed for careers in agriculture, working with industry partners to ensure the curriculum aligns with real-world demands.
Key responsibilities:

- Develop and deliver engaging lessons that balance theory and practical application.
- Assess student progress and provide constructive feedback to guide their development.
- Collaborate with colleagues and industry partners to ensure course content is relevant and up to date.
- Contribute to curriculum planning and development to meet learner and sector needs.
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.
We can offer you:
