What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you an experienced agriculture professional who is passionate about developing talent and supporting the next generation of farming experts?

Easton College is seeking an enthusiastic and an industry-expert Agriculture Assessor to join our successful Apprenticeship Team. This is an exciting opportunity to combine your agricultural expertise with a rewarding role that has a direct impact on learners, employers, and the future of the sector.

As an Agriculture Assessor, you'll work closely with apprentices across a variety of farming enterprises, helping them build the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed for a successful career in agriculture. You'll visit learners in their workplaces, provide guidance and support, and assess their progress throughout their apprenticeship journey.

Apprenticeship Standards You'll Support

  • Level 2 General Farm Worker
  • Level 3 Crop Technician
  • Level 3 Livestock Unit Technician

A Role That Takes You Beyond the Classroom

This is a highly varied position where no two days are the same. You'll spend time out on farms and agricultural businesses across the region, building strong relationships with employers and apprentices while ensuring high-quality assessment and learner support.

As regular travel is an essential part of the role, a full driving licence and access to a vehicle are required.

We're Looking For Someone Who

  • Has recent, hands-on experience within the agriculture industry
  • Is passionate about mentoring, coaching, and developing others
  • Holds a TAQA qualification (or equivalent), or is willing to work towards achieving one
  • Is organised, self-motivated, and comfortable using a range of digital systems
  • Has experience maintaining accurate records and tracking learner progress
  • Can build positive relationships with both employers and apprentices

Why Join Easton College?

At Easton College, agriculture is at the heart of what we do. With strong links to the industry and a reputation for delivering high-quality apprenticeships, we're proud to develop the skilled workforce that keeps the sector moving forward.

You'll join a supportive and collaborative team where your expertise is valued, your professional development is encouraged, and your work genuinely makes a difference.

If you're ready to inspire future agricultural professionals while staying connected to the industry you love, we'd love to hear from you.
