£21,368 - £32,563 pro rata (dependent upon skills, qualifications, and experience)

The role would ideally suit a practicing garden designer who could bring practical and up to the minute skills to bear in the teaching of the Award in Garden Design and Diploma in Garden Design programmes at Sparsholt College Hampshire, a leading centre of Garden Design working with members of the Society for Garden Designers.

Whilst there is no guarantee of hours it is envisaged that the teaching requirement will be two days a week, the specific days of the week being fixed in advance. The teaching year generally runs from the end of September to June with about 32 weeks of teaching commitment each year.

Teaching will encompass the teaching of Garden Design from basic graphic techniques on paper to teaching IT based skills such as Publisher, SketchUp and Vectorworks 2021, making high levels of proficiency in these applications, especially Vectorworks, an essential requirement for the job.

Through teaching and workshops the appointed lecturer will be expected to teach design and enable students to produce designs by completing the full process of site assessment, site analysis, client interaction, the creation of concept plans and the production of master plans plus the full panoply of associated documentation and drawings by hand or by using the computer. A particular need would be to teach a Contracts and Tendering unit, support learners with their Master Design Unit (Vectorworks skills required) and, teach Marketing strategies relatable to Garden Design Business.

The Units to be taught are well embedded and typically the students complete several assignments per Unit which must be marked with developmental feedback provided. The existing Lecturer who is moving out of the area has developed teaching materials which would provide the basis for a new incumbent to use.

Possession of a level 3 teaching qualification or the willingness to attain is desirable.

Closing Date: 25 October 2021
