Are you looking for a rewarding role that brings together hands on farm management, ecological stewardship and community engagement on one of the UK’s largest working city farms?
Following retirement, an opportunity has arisen to lead the day-to-day farming and conservation work across our 89 acre site, home to native and rare breed cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and bees, species rich grassland, extensive hedgerows, ancient woodland and a thriving volunteer community.
Enthusiastic, practical and highly motivated with a passion for farming, you will oversee all aspects of farming and conservation, alongside managing staff and volunteers.
