Are you an animal care professional ready to pass your expertise on to the next generation?

About the Role

We're supporting an education provider to appoint an Animal Management Lecturer. You'll plan and deliver teaching across their animal management provision, bringing current industry practice into your sessions and supporting learners through their qualifications.

You'll help learners develop practical animal handling skills alongside their theory knowledge, assessing their work and guiding progress towards successful completion and onward employment or further study.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Planning, preparing and delivering high-quality teaching across animal management programmes.
  • Assessing learner work, giving constructive feedback and carrying out progress reviews.
  • Supporting learners to develop practical animal handling and welfare knowledge.
  • Maintaining high standards of animal welfare, health and safety in practical learning environments.
  • Supporting learner retention, achievement and progression.
  • Contributing to curriculum development so that content reflects current industry standards.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant qualification in animal management, animal care or a related discipline
  • Occupational experience within the animal care or land-based sector
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A commitment to supporting learners to achieve their potential

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed or DET, or a willingness to work towards one
  • Previous experience of teaching or assessing in a further education setting

If you're ready to combine your industry expertise with a rewarding teaching role, we'd love to hear from you.
