Programme Leader- Rural Skills

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our dedicated team of Programme Leaders. Programme Leaders work with colleagues to plan and deliver day to day tasks on our farm sites for our co-farmers to participate in.  They are responsible for supporting co-farmers in a range of purposeful outdoor activities, enabling them to engage increasingly effectively, with the aim of developing skills and capacities.  This support leads to greater enjoyment, increased confidence, better physical and mental health and more independence for our participants. 

The backgrounds of our Programme Leader team are very varied, with people coming to work with us from all sorts of professional and personal experience.  The thing that they all have in common is an enthusiasm for our work, a commitment to delivering fulfilling and varied experiences and a passion for sharing their knowledge and expertise in the most inclusive way possible. 

We have a broad range of experience within our team and we are looking for somebody who will bring complimentary skills within one or more of the activity areas mentioned in the person specification.  Our Programme Leaders bring a wealth of professional, personal and life experience to their roles and we are also interested in hearing from people who have skills to share and who are keen to do this in an inclusive and enabling setting with learning disabled people, even if they have not worked formally in services like ours before.

To find out more about the role you can read the job description and person specification below.  If you would like to apply, please follow the instructions on the documents and send in your application together with a completed Diversity Monitoring Form to jobs@farmability.org.uk by 5pm on Monday 20th October 2025.
