Instructor / Animal Health and Welfare Research Centre

This is an exciting opportunity to develop your cross animal husbandry skills and educate the next generation of animal careers. As an instructor you will also have input into species collection planning, enclosure design and animal husbandry.

Candidates should be educated to at least level 3 in a relevant qualification e.g. Animal Management. Candidates should be able to demonstrate significant professional experience working with a range of animals as well as a real passion and enthusiasm for animals and helping all learners to reach their maximum potential.

The post holder will hold an appropriate teaching qualification or be willing to attain one. The ideal candidate will have a passion for teaching and experience with working in an educational setting with children that have EHCP's and additional needs.

This post is to be based at the Sparsholt campus so the ability to drive is also desirable.

The AHWRC is a leading practical teaching facility that houses a large range of both domestic and exotic animal species.

The post holder will teach and assess animal husbandry to groups of students across various animal sections of the AHWRC. Sections you will be working across domestic mammals, zoo mammals, birds, paddock animals & herptiles. You will be expected to deliver exceptional practical teaching using a range of animals as well as contributing to the daily husbandry of the section you are working on. There will also be opportunity to specialise on sections if desirable, and at this time we are especially keen to appoint one of the roles to focus on the herptile section of the AHWRC
