In this role, you’ll deliver engaging and high-quality teaching, learning, and assessment in Dog grooming, supporting students to achieve their goals and preparing them for future progression. You’ll also act as a course tutor, tracking progress, maintaining records, and helping learners reach their full potential. Alongside your teaching, you’ll contribute to continuous improvements in the student experience and may work with external partners and employers to ensure the diverse needs of learners are met.
