Right now, you might be managing a livery yard, coaching riders, working with competition horses, supporting rehabilitation programmes, running a breeding operation, or specialising in equine sports science and performance. You might be self-employed, travelling for events, or balancing the demands of a busy equine business. Whatever your current role, your expertise could inspire the next generation of equine professionals — and we’ll support you every step of the way in making the move from industry to education.

Bishop Burton College deliver a wide range of equine courses, including Equine Science, Equine Studies, Equine Sports Science, Equine Performance and Rehabilitation, and Veterinary Science (with an equine focus). Our outstanding facilities — including indoor and outdoor arenas, rehabilitation equipment, performance analysis technology — give our students access to industry-standard learning environments.

If you’re already teaching in FE or HE, you’ll find a collaborative team, a strong curriculum, and opportunities to develop your leadership and subject expertise further. If you’re joining us from the industry, you don’t need a teaching qualification to apply — we’ll provide the training and mentoring you need to succeed.

To be considered, you must hold a minimum of BHS Stage 3 qualification, alongside the knowledge, passion, and commitment to deliver outstanding teaching.

We can offer you more stable working hours, ongoing professional development, and the chance to make a lasting impact on the careers of our students while staying connected to the equine world you’re passionate about.

Wherever you are in your career, if you have the knowledge, passion, and commitment to deliver outstanding teaching, we would welcome your application.
