We are looking to
recruit additional self-motivated Technical Instructors to work with our Animal
Management team, providing support and technical assistance to our teaching
staff at our main site at Hadlow. You
will be required to give practical demonstrations and technical instruction in
varying aspects of animal care to our students.
The successful candidates will work as part of a small team responsible
for the care of the College animals and help to develop the collection under
guidance from the Animal Unit Manager.
The ability to
communicate effectively is essential for this role, along with substantial
relevant practical experience in a range of animal care activities, plus
experience and/or interest in facilitating research projects. Some experience
in aquatics and small mammals would also be an advantage. As well as being a
genuine team worker and ideally with teaching and demonstrating experience,
candidates will need to show proof of a minimum Level 2 qualification or
equivalent in English and maths. Qualifications A1/A2 (D32/D33) would also be
an advantage.
There are both full
time and part time posts available (full time is 37 hours per week) including
early mornings and weekends. You will also be expected to work on Bank
Holidays.
The successful
candidates will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)
check and provide proof of their right to work in the UK. A prohibition check
will be carried where applicable.
As well as a
contributory pension scheme, health cash plan, salary sacrifice scheme and free
car parking, this post also attracts 25 days holiday per annum, (pro rata),
excluding bank holidays.
