Farms for City Children offers children and young people a week in the heart of the British countryside staying on one of our farms, where they are immersed in the natural world of food, farming, and country life. During their stay, they participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing and harvesting in our kitchen gardens, caring for livestock and looking after the land, and a variety of tasks designed to build greater connection with the natural world.
About the Role
This is a hands-on role responsible for leading engaging countryside, food and farming sessions for groups of beneficiary children at Lower Treginnis Farm, a smallholding raising pigs, poultry, goats, cattle and growing field scale vegetables.
As part of the wider farming operations team, this role will specialise in livestock and play a key role in the day-to-day delivery of Farms for City Children’s farming operations alongside delivering knowledge rich farming and countryside sessions for visiting children.
As comfortable in wellies mucking out livestock as engaging with visiting children and teachers, this role requires a can-do attitude, endless positivity and enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for supporting disadvantaged children and young people to access the benefits of the countryside life.
The role requires the ability to undertake some work outside of 9 to 5 hours, including some weekend and lone working on a rota basis.
