We are looking for a highly motivated Trainer/Assessor in Animal Care with a wide knowledge of the Animal Care industry. The Derby College Animal Care unit is a very busy, forward thinking centre and the team are ambitious and proud of their achievements and work environment.
You will perform the role of trainer/assessor, delivering practical sessions on the animal unit, mainly to ensure achievement of qualifications for students. You will be expected to contribute to maintain above average success rates in this area, using innovation within your teaching and assessing.
