Gloucester, United Kingdom Farms for City Children Full time

**General Assistant - Farms for City Children**

**Location - **Wick Court, Gloucestershire

**Salary - **£19,000

**Contract - **Full time, permanent

An exciting position has become available at Farms for City Children. Our charity supports children to have meaningful access to the natural world. Enabling young people to experience the physical and mental health benefits of being in the countryside, there is a vacancy for **General Assistant,** based at Wick Court, Gloucestershire.

Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of the countryside through a food and farming offer that allows them to participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing, and harvesting in our kitchen gardens; caring for livestock and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem and encourages them to become more resilient.

In partnership with commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity. In term time we welcome school groups to the farms and work with a wide range of diverse beneficiary groups outside of term time.

Please see the **Job Description and Person Specification**for further details.

**About the Role**

The General Assistant supports all elements of the running of the farm. Some days are out on the farm working with the livestock, the role also supports the sessions with the children. An important part of the role is supporting the kitchen and housekeeping team.

This position is a farm-based role which will require only very occasional travel within the Charity’s regions in order to attend training or meetings at our other farms in Devon and Pembrokeshire.

**What we Offer**

In return you will receive a salary of between £19,000 and a range of benefits, which include:

- 25 days holiday plus 8 statutory bank holidays
- 6% employer contribution to NEST pension scheme
- Employee Assistance Programme

**How to Apply**

**Job Types**: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: £19,000.00 per year

**Benefits**:

- On-site parking

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday
- Weekend availability

Work Location: In person

Application deadline: 31/03/2023
