This rapidly growing subject area combines first class teaching with use of the extensive facilities on the College estate including landscaped areas, arboretum, specialist gardens and extensive lawns and a commercially operated garden centre to provide an unrivalled student experience.

 

Due to our continued growth in students wishing to study for qualifications in horticulture and related subjects we now seek an innovative, experienced and self-motivated teacher to make a significant contribution to a team of staff delivering courses from entry level to degree and post-graduate qualifications. A key focus of this post will be the driving of standards in delivery and maximising the potential of our students by working with our grounds maintenance and commercial teams.

 

Applicants will ideally have at least 3 years full-time teaching experience together with sound administrative skills.

A formal teaching qualification is essential and a Graduate or Higher National level qualification will be a distinct advantage in the relevant discipline of Horticulture or Floristry.
