At Brooksby Campus, in the heart of Leicestershire, you’ll find a team of farmers who’ve turned their passion into a teaching career. They’ve spent years out in the field and are now helping to shape the minds of future farmers.

For those looking ahead to the future, a move to the education sector could be the perfect choice.

‘Get into teaching’ has been banded around by the Department of Education for years, but as a professional in the Agriculture sector, what would that actually look like for you?

To ensure the future of our industry, we need experienced farmers like you to use the skills you’ve learnt throughout your career, to educate the next generation. We support students now, so they can take care of our country in years to come.

Teaching doesn’t need to be daunting. You don’t need experience to get started. It’s a lot like the agricultural industry in many ways – both are about nurturing, growth and passion.

As well as being hugely rewarding, teachers at SMB College Group receive excellent benefits:

  • 40 days paid annual leave, plus 8 bank holidays
  • A fantastic pension
  • Enhanced paternity cover
  • Achieve a professional teaching qualification

When you’re ready to move away from your physically demanding role, a career in teaching could be the perfect next step.

We’re welcoming enquiries from anyone in the industry. Whatever your experience, whatever your background, if you’d like to find out more about a career in education, get in touch.
