An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Communications & Marketing Officer to join our dynamic social mobility charity which exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world. Through a week on one of our three heritage farms, Nethercott House in Devon, Lower Treginnis in Pembrokeshire, and Wick Court in Gloucestershire, children and young people experience increased learning and engagement, improved connections and wellbeing, and leave us with an enhanced sense of environmental citizenship. Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of countryside through a food and farming offer that allows them to 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 cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. In partnership with our commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food, and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem, and encourages them to become more resilient.
About the Role
The Communications & Marketing Officer is responsible for producing and managing high quality content on the Farms for City Children website, social media channels and other communications assets which will promote and raise awareness of the charity to existing and potential donors, partners, schools, and groups, supporting the charity’s fundraising efforts and recruiting new beneficiaries to the farms.
The majority of the work will be home-based, but due to the farm locations we are looking for someone based in the South West England or South East Wales to ensure that travel expenses are manageable for the Charity. There will be regular travel to the Charity’s three farms in Devon, Pembrokeshire, and Gloucestershire. A full driving licence is essential as the farms are in remote locations and not accessible by public transport.
The post is a full-time role working 35 hours per week over five days. Our usual office hours are Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm. A degree of flexibility is available in the working pattern for this role, so someone wishing to work 30 hours per week would be considered.
For full details about the role, please see the Job Description and Person Specification and Job Information Pack.
Appointments will not be confirmed until the Charity has received two satisfactory professional references, evidence of the existing proof of right to work in the UK. Referees will not be contacted without candidates’ prior consent.
Farms for City Children is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Successful candidates will be subject to a Social Media check and a DBS check at the appropriate level. Employment with the charity is conditional upon the charity being satisfied with the result of the DBS Check. Successful candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks. Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the charity will be handled in accordance with any guidance and/or code of practice published by the DBS.
Farms for City Children is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity and supports and encourages under-represented groups. We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, with diverse lived experience, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
