Animal Management Lecturer
College location:East Surrey College (Redhill) and John Ruskin College (Selsdon)
Salary: £29,373 - £41,718 pro rata (subject to qualifications, skills, and experience)

A remarkable and unique opportunity has arisen at East Surrey College as we seek to appoint a Lecturer in Animal Management to teach on Level 1–2 Animal Welfare & Management, with aspirations to expand delivery to Level 3 in the near future.
This role sits within a brand-new and rapidly growing department, offering the successful candidate a rare chance to shape its future. You will play a key role in the development of the curriculum, contribute to the design of new facilities, and help establish a vibrant learning environment that includes small mammals and reptiles as part of our hands-on teaching resources.
This is more than a teaching role. It’s a chance to be part of something new, exciting, and impactful.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- Brand-New Facilities: Our state-of-the-art teaching spaces include dedicated areas for small mammals and reptiles, designed to support immersive, hands-on learning.
- Department in Development: Be part of a growing team and play a key role in shaping the curriculum, resources, and student experience.
- Curriculum Expansion: You’ll teach Level 1–2 Animal Welfare & Management, with plans to expand to Level 3—your input will help drive that progression.
The successful candidate must have:
- A Teaching qualification at level 3 or above
- A relevant degree or equivalent qualification in animal science, zoology, veterinary science, or a related field is desirable
- Experience working in the animal management industry or a similar educational setting.
- Previous, relevant FE teaching experience
- Maths & English GCSE / Level 2 equivalent
If this sounds like you and you will enjoy working in a forward thinking, friendly, fast paced, changing environment with state of the art facilities, we would love to hear from you. In return, we offer a competitive salary, as well as staff benefits such a choice of two excellent pension schemes, a brilliant holiday package, free onsite parking and access to our fully equipped gym along with discounted in house Spa and Salon treatments.
*Applications will however be shortlisted on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to interview and appoint before this closing date. We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment. As much as we would love to respond to all applicants, due to the sheer volume of applications we receive we are unable to respond to all unsuccessful candidates.

Orbital South Colleges Group are committed to Equal Opportunities, encouraging applications from all sectors of the community to reflect our diverse student population. We are also committed to PREVENT and Safeguarding the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Both College Campus’ are smoke-free zones.
As part of our pre-employment checks, successful candidates will be required to complete an enhanced DBS, references will be taken and evidence of all qualifications and awards will also be required before commencement of employment. Failure to do so may lead to offers being withdrawn.
Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK as we do not sponsor work permits, and work permits from other organisations are unacceptable as proof of right to work in the UK.
