Are you an experienced Animal Management professional ready to take the next step into leadership, or an established lecturer looking to progress your career?

You may currently be working within the animal industry—perhaps in a supervisory or management role within a zoo, wildlife park, veterinary setting, or animal care facility—where you are already leading teams, mentoring staff, and maintaining high standards of animal welfare and practice. Alternatively, you could be working in Further Education as a Lecturer or Course Leader in Animal Management, already contributing to curriculum delivery and supporting learners to achieve their goals.

You are someone who combines strong industry knowledge with a passion for developing others. In your current role, you are likely involved in training, coaching, or assessing staff or students, and may already be contributing to curriculum planning, quality improvement, or performance monitoring.

You understand what high-quality teaching and learning looks like and are confident in using data and outcomes to drive improvement. You are comfortable leading a team, supporting colleagues, and ensuring that provision meets both educational standards and industry expectations.

This role offers the opportunity to step into a leadership position where you will shape the direction of Animal Management provision, lead a team of staff, and ensure students develop the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed for successful careers in the sector.

If you are motivated, forward-thinking, and ready to lead both people and provision, we would love to hear from you.

Shortlisting for this role will be based solely on the information provided in the application form. CVs will not be considered during the shortlisting process. Please ensure that your application clearly demonstrates how you meet the essential and desirable criteria outlined in the person specification.

You may currently be working as a senior practitioner, nursery manager, or early years leader within a setting, already taking responsibility for staff development, curriculum planning, and maintaining high standards of practice. Alternatively, you could be an experienced FE lecturer or course leader delivering Early Years programmes and now looking to progress into a role with greater responsibility and impact.

You are someone who understands what outstanding teaching, learning and assessment looks like, and you’re already supporting others—whether that’s mentoring colleagues, leading a team, or contributing to curriculum development. You’re confident using data to monitor performance, improve outcomes, and drive quality across provision.

In your current role, you are likely leading or contributing to programme delivery, ensuring learners achieve their full potential, and maintaining strong links with industry to keep provision relevant and engaging. You are passionate about developing both learners and staff, and thrive in a role where you can influence, guide and improve practice.

This is an opportunity to bring your expertise into a leadership position where you will shape the delivery of Early Years provision, support a team of staff, and play a key role in driving high-quality outcomes for students.
