  • About The Role and Person

  • An exciting opportunity has arisen at Capel Manor College and we are now seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Animal Management to provide high-quality teaching and learning on our Animal Management courses.

    Our School of Animal Management offers a wide range of courses including a Level 1 Introduction to Animal Care course, the Level 2 Animal Care Technical Diploma and the Level 3 Animal Management Advanced Diploma. We also offer Access to Higher Education Diplomas in Veterinary Science and Animal Science and Welfare. We offer a Keeper and Aquarist apprenticeship and also run Higher Education courses in Animal Management and Zoology and Animal Management and Biodiversity. We have excellent facilities and a varied animal collection including exotics, farm and companion animals. All campuses house reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds.

    The post holder will provide high quality teaching on the College’s Animal Management courses and ensure the effective learning of students being taught. This will involve preparing and delivering stimulating lessons, setting goals that stretch and challenge all students, monitoring and assessing student progress, giving feedback and consistently demonstrating the positive attitudes, values and behaviours which are expected of students. 

    Applicants should possess a Degree, HND or other relevant qualification in an animal related discipline, science or other associated subject. We welcome applications from experienced Lecturers and from those with relevant industry experience who are interested in passing on their skills to others. If you are an enthusiastic individual with the ability to inspire, motivate and challenge students and if you are able to impart knowledge and develop understanding that promotes a love of learning and develops intellectual curiosity, we want to hear from you.  

  • 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.
