**About The Prince’s Foundation**

The Prince’s Foundation provides holistic solutions to challenges facing the world today. We champion a sustainable approach to how we live our lives and build our communities, we run a diverse programme of education and training for all ages and backgrounds, and we regenerate and care for places where communities thrive and that visitors enjoy.

We work nationally and internationally but at the heart of our organisation is the heritage-led regeneration of the Dumfries House estate and its wider community, where our principles and philosophies are explored and put into practice. The work of The Prince’s Foundation is inspired by our charity founder HRH The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales’s philosophy of harmony: that by understanding the balance, the order and the relationships between ourselves and the natural world we can create a more sustainable future.

**The Role**:
The post holder will assist on the development, implementation and delivery of high quality educational experiences including school workshops, short courses, teacher training programmes and public events related to Farming and Rural Skills.

The Farming and Rural Skills offering is currently delivered from Valentin’s Education Farm on Dumfries House Estate through practical hands-on workshops and events, targeted predominantly at primary and secondary school aged learners. Our Farming and Rural Skills offering is being expanded through the development of a new national centre for excellence - The MacRobert Farming and Rural Skills Training Centre. The centre will provide training for new entrants to the sector, as well as assisting those already working in the industry to diversify and hone their skill set. The centre’s vision is to ensure sustainable agriculture practices becoming industry standard and to support land based skills training. Due to the holistic nature of our education strategy, the post holder will have the opportunity to work with colleagues, on interdisciplinary programmes, from the wider education team including STEM, Food and Horticulture, Activity and Adventure, Hospitality, Textiles and Building Crafts.

- Maintaining familiarity with The Prince’s Foundation handbook and relevant HR procedures.
- Undertaking any other duties as may reasonably be required of you in the post.
