Join a dynamic, growing charity that inspires children in disadvantaged communities to grow, cook, and enjoy healthy food. We’re seeking an experienced Programme Manager and child-led educator to lead our national Food Discovery team, ensuring high-quality delivery, strategic growth, and strong advocacy for food education.

You’ll manage a dispersed team, oversee recruitment, training, budgeting, and evaluation, and build partnerships with schools, funders, and sector networks. The role demands excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to travel nationally.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Personal Assistant to join our Private Office team and support our three National Officers: the National President, the National Chair and the National Vice Chair.

- Arrange travel and accommodation for the National Officers as required, ensuring the details are thoroughly planned and confirmed in advance
- Undertake research tasks for the National Officers, gathering detailed information, presenting supporting facts, figures, and recommendations for implementation
