Job Title: Rural Property Law Lecturer
Plumpton College is seeking a qualified and experienced legal professional—such as a solicitor, barrister, or property law specialist—with expertise in rural property law, to join our teaching team. This sessional role involves delivering a module focused on the legal frameworks that underpin rural land ownership, occupation, and use.
About Plumpton College
Plumpton College offers a diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in horticulture, agriculture, viticulture, animal conservation, veterinary studies, and rural and countryside management. The University of Greenwich validates all our higher education courses, and our BSc (Hons) Rural Land and Business Management programme is in the process of gaining RICS accreditation.
Role Overview
This is a unique opportunity to bring your industry expertise into an academic setting while maintaining flexibility. You will play a vital role in delivering a professionally oriented programme designed to equip students with the legal knowledge essential for careers in rural land and business management.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
