Are you an experienced landscaper ready to step away from the physical demands of site work?
Do you want to use your skills, knowledge and experience to develop the next generation while gaining long-term stability and work-life balance?
This is a genuine career move designed for experienced professionals who have built their skills on-site and are now looking for something more sustainable, structured and rewarding.
You'll be joining one of the UK's leading land-based colleges, known nationally for its outstanding horticulture provision and strong industry links. Significant investment has been made into industry-standard facilities, including landscaped training environments, modern workshops and professional-grade equipment-giving you the perfect platform to deliver high-quality, real-world training.
This is not about sitting in a classroom reading from slides. It's about bringing your trade to life demonstrating, coaching and mentoring learners using the same standards and practices you've built your career on.
The ideal candidate will come from a horticulture or landscaping background with strong experience in hard landscaping such as paving, walling, fencing and full garden builds and be looking to move into education, using their skills to train and develop others.
You'll move into a role where your experience is valued, your knowledge is passed on, and your impact is seen every day. Full training and teaching qualifications are provided, meaning you don't need any prior teaching experience to succeed.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy helping others, and want a career that offers progression, stability and purpose this is the opportunity to make that move.
