Are you ready to inspire the next generation of land-based engineers?

Join our dynamic Agriculture Department, home to a thriving 280-hectare mixed commercial farm (dairy and sheep), where learning is hands-on, and the connection between theory and practice is at the heart of everything we do. With access to a wide range of machinery and diverse landscapes—from arable fields to parkland—our learners benefit from real-world experience that prepares them for the future of farming and engineering.

As our student numbers grow and our curriculum evolves, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Land-based Engineering specialist to deliver high-quality, engaging lessons and practical sessions across a range of levels.

What you’ll be doing:

• Teaching land-based engineering and machinery-related units with a strong practical focus

• Collaborating with our Farm Manager to integrate real-time farming operations into your teaching

• Inspiring learners through hands-on experiences and industry-relevant content

• Supporting students’ development with a flexible, positive, and motivating approach

What we’re looking for:

• Significant vocational experience in land-based engineering or agricultural machinery

• Excellent communication, organisational, and administrative skills

• A passion for teaching and developing young people

• A relevant degree or equivalent qualification (desirable)

• Teaching qualifications (desirable—but we’ll support you to gain them!)

Why join us?

• Teacher training provided (Level 3 and 5) with a dedicated mentor

• Strong emphasis on staff development and CPD

• A supportive, forward-thinking team with strong links to the local farming community

• The chance to shape the future of agriculture in the South West

Whether you're an experienced educator or a skilled industry professional looking for a new challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us cultivate the next generation of agricultural engineers.
