About the Role
Based at our Bicton College campus in East Devon, we are looking for an experienced individual to be part of the delivery team for our Animal Science teaching programmes due to expansion of courses. The Programme Manager role is responsible for all aspects of the student experience from interview through to completion of the course.
The role includes tutoring, teaching, and assessing learners in a range of animal subjects from Level 1 to Level 3 both in the classroom and in a practical environment. Practical lessons include working with exotic species, small and large mammals, fish, and birds in our state of the art, zoo-licenced animal unit.
Skills & Experience
We are looking for candidates with broad experience in the animal industry, an animal science-based background would be useful. Previous teaching experience is not essential, however, being able to demonstrate training or development of staff in the industry would be advantageous. We welcome applicants with a wide skillset and experience in an animal setting, with a passion to transfer these skills to learners.
Qualifications at degree level or above are required and a teaching qualification is desirable. It is essential to be willing to work towards a teaching qualification if one is not currently held.
