We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our dedicated team of Programme Leaders - either part-time or full-time. Programme Leaders are responsible for supporting co-farmers (adults with learning disabilities and/or autism) in a range of purposeful outdoor activities, on farms and in gardens, enabling them to engage increasingly effectively, with the aim of developing skills and capacities that lead to greater enjoyment, increased confidence, better physical and mental health and more independence, with the potential for some to move into paid employment, further training or volunteering.

Programme Leaders work with small groups of co-farmers across a range of activities through the seasonal year. These include livestock management, arable farming, gardening, forestry and woodworking. The focus is on a person-centred approach that enables co farmers to work as independently as possible. As a team, Programme Leaders record individual co-farmer progress on a daily basis, thus contributing to ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
