An excellent opportunity has arisen for a full-time Learning Practitioner in Agriculture to join our ambitious team at Northumberland College. We are looking for someone with current industry experience who is eager to impart their knowledge and ignite enthusiasm for sustainable farming, innovative techniques, and the vital role agriculture plays in our world. A teaching qualification is not essential as full training, support, and qualifications can be given. This role has excellent benefits including 48 days holiday, plus bank holidays and an excellent pension scheme. The role is full-time, but a split role could be considered for the right candidate. Join us as an Agriculture Learning Practitioner and play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of agricultural workers and leaders.
