WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL TEACHER IN MACHINERY AND HABITAT MAINTENANCE AT ACTIVATE LEARNING?

We are looking for people who can act as role models for our students and ensure that they leave us with not just their professional qualifications, but the attributes required to progress in the world of work.
Whilst previous teaching experience and qualification would be an advantage, it is not a requirement. As long as you have the necessary qualifications and experience to teach machinery operation and habitat maintenance and can demonstrate the attributes to be an inspirational teacher, we can provide you with the necessary training, development and support to equip you to teach in the FE sector.
You will have a relevant qualification at Level 3 or higher in a relevant subject area, such as Arboriculture, Horticulture/Landscaping, Countryside Management, Agriculture, Ag Engineering, etc.
You must have extensive experience in the operation and maintenance of a range of landbased machinery, including both handheld and ride-on grounds maintenance equipment and have experience of organising and undertaking a wide range of practical habitat maintenance tasks.
Formal qualification in machinery operations such as NPTC, Lantra or NPORS would be desirable, but is not required.
