As an Instructor Demonstrator at Coleg Cambria Llysfasi, the individual will deliver practical landbased education, imparting knowledge on tractor driving, agri/forestry machinery, workshop skills and estate work. Collaboration with academic staff is crucial to align hands-on land based practices with the theoretical underpinnings provided in the classroom, and the role involves assessing students' application of skills in real-world landbased scenarios.
