Leeds, West Yorkshire

£31,916 per annum, with progression to £35,912.

Protocol are delighted to be supporting a well‑established education provider in their search for an Animal Care Teacher to join their School of Animal Care and Land Management. This is a fantastic opportunity to deliver animal management lessons to students as part of their programme of study, within a truly unique setting of Leeds – a working farm and historic estate.

While this position does not involve practical delivery, the successful candidate should enjoy being around animals and feel comfortable working within a land‑based, real‑world environment. The role will be primarily based at the working farm; there may occasionally be a requirement to work at the college's campuses within the Leeds area.

The School of Animal Care and Land Management offers a broad range of Further Education, Apprenticeship, and Higher Education (HE) programmes, delivering courses from entry level through to Level
6. Although the role is focused mainly on Further Education learners, our client is seeking someone who can demonstrate flexibility and confidence in working with a variety of learners across different levels.

Deliver animal management lessons to students as part of their programme of study within a farm and historic estate setting. Work primarily at the farm, with occasional visits to campus locations.

• A recognised teaching qualification, or willingness to work towards one.
• Recent teaching or delivery experience within Further Education or schools.
• Up‑to‑date subject knowledge in animal care or a related subject.
• English and Maths qualifications at Level 2 or above.
• Hold a DBS on the update service (or be willing to apply for a new one ahead of September).

Our client is committed to staff development and progression. Opportunities include offering PGCE and teaching qualifications alongside teaching, Apprenticeships, and ongoing CPD opportunities.

Protocol National Ltd trading as Protocol is acting as an employment business for this position. You must provide evidence of your Right to Work in the UK, and if you do not already hold a suitable DBS certificate registered on the DBS Update Service, you will be required to apply for one. The position is subject to agreement to terms and conditions and suitable application and reference processes.
