About the Organisation

Jamie's Farm exists to transform the lives of vulnerable children by providing a unique combination of ‘farming, family, therapy and legacy’ through a one-week immersive residential and subsequent follow-up programme. We have built an excellent reputation working with at-risk young people, and currently offer our transformative experience to 1800 pupils each year across our four residential farms. 

Main responsibilities
