Are you a trained horticulturist with good plant knowledge? Do you have skills and a passion for horticulture to pass on to the next generation? We are keen to recruit a Technical Instructor in Horticulture to support our lecturing staff, provide practical instruction to our students and maintain the curriculum growing areas and resources. Glasshouse experience would be an advantage.

As a Technical Instructor you will be demonstrating and providing practical instruction in varying aspects of horticultural practice to a range of students aged 14 years and above both in a grounds and classroom settings. You will also assist in the horticultural and technical maintenance of the practical facilities, including our new state of the art glasshouse, which is part of our innovative and exciting approach to the future of horticultural expertise, including hydroponics and a hi-tech propagation unit. You will have experience and training in a range of horticultural operations and use of machinery, and a full UK driver’s licence is required as the role may involve travelling between our campuses at Hadlow, Canterbury, Greenwich and Mottingham. There may also be a requirement for occasional weekend working.

In addition to the minimum requirements detailed above, candidates will need a keen interest in a wide range of horticultural related subjects, the ability to work well as part of a team and the willingness to work towards and gain a relevant teaching qualification, which can be studied at the college. Further training towards other qualification will also be encouraged and supported by the College, with the potential for career progression in the educational branch of horticulture.

As well as a contributory pension scheme, health cash plan and free car parking, this post also attracts 27 days holiday each year, plus bank holidays and 3 additional statutory days leave.
