Impact Project Officer

We have secured funding for a three-year project to pilot post-residential engagement with our partner schools and develop a framework for evaluating our longer-term impact. We are now looking for a part-time Impact Project Officer to help deliver this exciting work.

Working with a community of partner schools, the postholder will support the co-development and sharing of resources, helping teachers build their confidence and skills in delivering nature-based learning activities. The role will also contribute to the development of robust approaches to measuring children and young people’s connection with nature, wellbeing and transferable skills.

By gathering and analysing evidence from children, young people, teachers and other stakeholders, the postholder will help us understand the lasting benefits of our residentials, strengthen our programme delivery and contribute evidence to wider research and policy on nature-based learning.

Our immersive farm residentials for children and young people offer a transformative experience, with rewards that last long after they have returned home. During a five-day school or group visit to one of our stunning farms in Devon, Gloucestershire or Pembrokeshire, children and young people thrive. Our holistic programme enhances learning, nurtures wellbeing and builds transferable skills as our young farmers grow lasting connections with food, farming and each other. We are a registered charity and believe every young person, regardless of background, deserves an opportunity to take home the wealth of benefits of being farmers for a week.
