As London’s environmental college, the College plays a vital role in the green agenda for the capital, equipping the next generation of land‑based sector workers with the skills and knowledge needed to preserve and protect London’s wildlife, national parks and green spaces.

Capel Manor College offers excellent staff benefits. These include generous annual leave, access to a defined pension scheme, retail and leisure discounts and access to an online GP.

We are dedicated to creating and promoting an equal, diverse, and inclusive workforce that empowers all employees to reach their full potential. We strive for a truly representative workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

Additionally, we are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of our students. We expect all staff members to share and uphold this commitment.

Please note that the College does not have a sponsorship licence. We are therefore unable to consider applicants who do not have the right to work in the UK.

We reserve the right to close a position once sufficient suitable applications have been received to form a short list. Early application is therefore encouraged.
