  • About The Role and Person

  • An exciting opportunity has arisen at Capel Manor College and we are now seeking to appoint Practical Instructor for Agriculture and Environmental Conservation.

    Our Practical Instructors are responsible for supporting teaching staff by providing practical demonstration and technical instruction to students. Practical Instructors supervise small groups of students to develop their practical skills through demonstrating the appropriate skills, methods and techniques. This might include demonstrating the use of machinery, harvesting crops and feeding livestock. They will ensure that students can demonstrate the skills and behaviours required for the successful completion of their qualification and possess the knowledge that underpins the practical instruction. They will also ensure that the health and safety of the students is maintained whilst undertaking practical sessions.

    The ideal candidate will hold at least a Level 3 qualification in Agriculture or a related area, and will have practical experience working in the agricultural industry. While experience working in education is not essential, applicants should be comfortable providing training and instruction to others.


  • About the College

  • Over the last 50 years, Capel Manor College has helped thousands of school leavers and adults achieve their dream of working with animals, plants and the environment.  As London’s environmental college, the College plays a vital role in the green agenda for the capital, equipping the next generation of land-based sector workers with the skills and knowledge needed to preserve and protect London’s wildlife, national parks and green spaces.  Capel Manor College offers excellent staff benefits.  These include generous annual leave, access to a defined pension scheme, retail and leisure discounts and access to an online GP.  For further information on staff benefits, please click here.

    At Capel Manor College, we are dedicated to creating and promoting an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce that empowers all employees to reach their full potential. We strive for a truly representative workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

    Additionally, we are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of our students. We expect all staff members to share and uphold this commitment.

    Please note that the College does not have a sponsorship licence.  We are therefore unable to consider applicants who do not have the right to work in the UK.

    We reserve the right to close a position once sufficient suitable applications have been received to form a short list.  Early application is therefore encouraged.
