The role of Animal Care Tutor is to provide support, learning and practical farm activities at our educational farm in Barham, Kent. This hybrid role combines vocational teaching, practical farm instruction, and animal care, providing learners with hands‑on learning opportunities in a supportive outdoor environment. The successful candidate will deliver practical land‑based learning sessions, support the daily care of farm animals, and help learners develop vocational, life, and independence skills through real farm tasks.
The role will work closely with the Farm Manager and education team to ensure the farm operates safely while supporting structured and engaging learning experiences. Flexibility will be required to meet the needs of the college, with the opportunity for occasional evening or weekend work to support farm operations and college events.
As the Animal Care Tutor, you will support the team in ensuring the courses are run effectively and the service provided reflects the ethos of the college. You will support the Tutors and leadership teams in embedding animal care into the rest of the curriculum, and ensuring directives and policies are reflected and implemented in everyday practice. You will be line‑managed by your Cluster Lead but also report to the Farm Manager and other leaders.
The role may also require you to deliver embedded maths and English skills from entry level to Level 2 and provide support for learners in preparation for entering the workplace. You will have an active role in assisting learners on training courses to help them progress into education, employment, training or volunteering. You will be responsible for teaching employability, functional skills and British values, often to challenging and disengaged young people with learning difficulties.
