Job Description:

Animal Care Lecturer

Permanent

Are you an experienced animal care professional looking to inspire the next generation of learners?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider as an Animal Care Lecturer, delivering engaging teaching across Animal Care programmes. You'll bring your industry knowledge into the classroom and workshop, helping learners build the practical skills and understanding they need to progress into employment, further study or apprenticeships.

You'll plan and assess learning activities, track learner progress and help shape a curriculum that reflects current industry practice.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering engaging teaching across Animal Care programmes.
• Planning, preparing and assessing learning activities to support learner progression and achievement.
• Delivering practical sessions alongside classroom theory.
• Embedding health and safety and animal welfare standards into your teaching.
• Contributing to curriculum development so that content reflects current industry practice.
• Supporting learners to develop their technical skills and employability.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Industry experience within Animal Care or a related field
• Strong communication and organisational skills
• A commitment to supporting learners to achieve their full potential

Desirable (but not essential):

• A recognised teaching qualification

No teaching qualification? No problem. We welcome applications from industry professionals without teaching experience, and will support you with fully funded teacher training, mentoring and ongoing development.

If you're ready to bring your Animal Care expertise into the classroom and inspire the next generation, we'd love to hear from you.
