About the role
Do you have a strong background in landscape, horticulture or greenspace professions, and enjoy sharing your knowledge with others? Are you someone who values practical, hands on learning and wants to support students as they develop the skills they need for a successful career in the sector? If so, this could be a great opportunity for you.
We are looking for a Lecturer in Landscape & Horticulture to join our Greenspace and Creative Design team. In this role, you’ll deliver a mix of practical and classroom based teaching across a range of horticulture and landscape programmes. You’ll help students build confidence, develop technical competence, and gain a real understanding of industry expectations — from plant science and garden design to practical skills and horticultural practice.
As part of the role, you’ll also contribute to course management, support learners through tutorials, and take an active role in assessment, internal verification and maintaining accurate progression records. You’ll work closely with colleagues to create an inspiring learning environment and ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Whether you already have teaching experience or are a skilled horticulture/landscape professional looking to take the next step, we will support you with training and development, including the opportunity to work towards a teaching qualification if required.
Why join us?
At Myerscough College and University Centre we have a nationally and internationally recognised Further Education, Higher Education, Adult Education and Apprenticeship provision. The Further Education provision is well established, the Higher Education provision has a well-recognised partnership with the University of Lancashire and the apprenticeship provision is operational nationally. We offer a rewarding and enjoyable working environment, where colleagues are inspired to make a positive difference to the educational experience and employability of our students. We are one of the top five largest land-based and sports colleges in the UK.
What We Offer:
We take care of our team just as we do our students. As an employee, you can enjoy a range of benefits, including:
• A generous holiday allowance of 42 days, pro rata plus bank holidays.
• Regular Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.
• An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to provide wellbeing support in moments of need.
• Membership of the Teacher’s Pension Scheme
We are flexible working friendly and happy to discuss interest in flexible working.

Please note that as part of our commitment to safeguarding our students, our background screening checks include limited online searches. Online searches will only be undertaken in respect of the successful candidate, as a pre-conditional term of our job offer.
Safeguarding our students is of paramount importance. Our recruitment process has been designed to keep students safe and to ensure that we appoint safe and suitable people.
All successful applicants will be required to undertake pre-employment background and safeguarding checks.
The successful applicant will be responsible for complying with all safeguarding policies and practices, and for ensuring student safety and wellbeing is at the forefront of everything they do.
