Exciting opportunity to join our prestigious Land and Wildlife team!
Sparsholt College has a long-standing reputation of training and providing the next generation of countryside workers, gamekeepers and conservationists. Many of our past students now work in key jobs across the whole of the land-based sector in the UK, and we are now seeking a member of staff to join the Land and Wildlife lecturing team.
The successful applicant will deliver theory and practical teaching to both full-time students and apprentices, and should possess a range of relevant and current experience and skills relating to either conservation and countryside management or gamekeeping. Experience of habitat management and a good all-round knowledge of the countryside is essential. Firearms experience would be preferable but not essential. The post holder will preferably hold an appropriate industry-relevant qualification together with a recognised teaching qualification, or be willing to work towards attaining both.
