Are you passionate about sustainability and environmental change? Do you want to use your expertise to shape a greener future through education?
At Plumpton College, we're on a mission to lead the way in land-based, food, and environmental education. With over 800 hectares of diverse landscapes, including a working farm, commercial vineyard, and countryside estate, we provide a truly immersive setting for environmental learning.
As our student numbers grow, we're looking for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Lecturer in Environmental Studies to join our expanding team. Whether you're an experienced educator or an industry professional ready to step into teaching, this is your opportunity to make a real impact in a sector that matters.

* You'll be collaborative, passionate, and eager to shape the future of environmental education.
* If you have industry expertise and a desire to inspire, we'll help you transition into teaching with a supported, reduced timetable while you qualify.
