Are you an experienced horticulture professional who wants to use your skills for something more meaningful?
We're looking for a passionate Horticulture Industry Instructor to deliver vocational training to learners within a prison environment, helping them gain practical horticulture skills, recognised qualifications and the confidence they need to build a positive future beyond release.
You'll deliver Level 1 NOCN and Level 2 City & Guilds Horticulture qualifications, combining practical workshop-based training with classroom learning, sustainability and employability skills.
What you'll be doing
- Deliver engaging Level 1 and Level 2 horticulture training, covering gardening, plant care, growing and sustainable practices.
- Support up to 24 learners, adapting your approach to meet individual learning needs.
- Develop learners' practical skills in horticulture, including the safe use of tools, machinery and equipment.
- Promote sustainable horticultural practices including soil health, water conservation, recycling and organic growing.
- Plan and supervise workshop activities, setting clear targets and supporting learners to achieve their qualifications.
- Create a positive, safe and productive learning environment that encourages confidence, accountability and personal development.
- Work alongside Work & Skills Coaches to help learners build employability skills and prepare for employment after release.
- Complete relevant records, learner progress information, risk assessments and reports.
- Maintain high standards of health, safety, security and tool control within the workshop.
- Contribute to restorative approaches that encourage reflection, responsibility and positive behaviour.
- Support the wider prison team by providing relevant information for sentence planning, parole and security reporting.
