Animal Management Lecturer

Employment Basis: Established (salaried)

Location: John Ruskin College - Croydon

Salary Range: £30,827 - £42,553 per annum FTE (£18,496 - £25,532 per annum pro rata for 0.6 FTE), dependent on qualifications, skills, and experience.

Closing Date: 31/10/2026

A remarkable and unique opportunity has arisen at John Ruskin College as we seek to appoint a Lecturer in Animal Management to teach on Level 1-2 Animal Welfare & Management, with aspirations to expand delivery to Level 3 in the near future.

This is a part-time role (3 full days per week), with exciting potential to grow. Additional sessional hours may be available as student numbers increase, offering the opportunity to build towards full-time hours.

This role sits within a brand-new and rapidly growing department, offering the successful candidate a rare chance to shape its future. You will play a key role in the development of the curriculum, contribute to the design of new facilities, and help establish a vibrant learning environment that includes small mammals and reptiles as part of our hands-on teaching resources.

This is more than a teaching role. It's a chance to be part of something new, exciting, and impactful.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Brand-New Facilities: Our state-of-the-art teaching spaces include dedicated areas for small mammals and reptiles, designed to support immersive, hands-on learning.
• Department in Development: Be part of a growing team and play a key role in shaping the curriculum, resources, and student experience.
• Curriculum Expansion: You'll teach Level 1-2 Animal Welfare & Management, with plans to expand to Level 3—your input will help drive that progression.

The successful candidate must have:

• A Teaching qualification at level 3 or above. If you're not yet a qualified lecturer, we can support you to gain your teaching qualification while you earn, providing full teacher training and development to help you build a successful career in Further Education.
• A relevant degree or equivalent qualification in animal science, zoology, veterinary science, or a related field is desirable.
• Experience working in the animal management industry or a similar educational setting.
• Previous, relevant FE teaching experience.
• Maths & English GCSE / Level 2 equivalent.

If this sounds like you and you will enjoy working in a forward-thinking, friendly, fast-paced, changing environment with state-of-the-art facilities, we would love to hear from you. In return, we offer a competitive salary, staff benefits such as a choice of two excellent pension schemes, a brilliant holiday package, free onsite parking, access to our fully equipped gym, along with discounted in-house Spa and Salon treatments.

Applications will however be shortlisted on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to interview and appoint before this closing date. We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment. Due to the volume of applications, we are unable to respond to all unsuccessful candidates.
