FARM Manager | COFARM | salary up TO £42k | full time

FARM MANAGER | COFARM CAMBRIDGE | salary up TO £42k | full time

As CoFarm Cambridge enters its 6th growing season, we’re excited to be launching the search for a special ‘plants and people person’ to join our growing team as Farm Manager.

The person we are looking for will be an experienced and knowledgeable head grower/market gardener/farm manager who thrives on enthusing, teaching and giving others the confidence and skills to grow food sustainably. Warm, confident and highly collaborative, you will have a knack for putting people at ease and making them feel comfortable, valued and included.

Creating universal access to sustainable, nutritious food is something you will be passionate about. You will understand why and how a ‘just transition’ to agroecological food and farming systems across the UK – and indeed globally – is key to tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and health inequalities.

In order to ensure a successful harvest this season, the farm’s seedlings are being raised and supplied on a freelance basis by the previous horticultural lead. The successful candidate will therefore be overseeing the planting of this year’s crops but will not be required to raise this season’s seedlings, as this process is already well underway.

PLEASE NOTE:

THE Final date to receive applications IS MONDAY 17TH MARCH 2025.

Interviews will take place between 26th and 31st March.

The successful candidate/s will be invited to start ASAP, subject to receipt of successful references.
