Known within the organisation as ‘Team Leader’
An exciting opportunity to lead a dedicated team supporting young people to build resilience and thrive. At an exciting time of growth for our charity, we are looking for two enthusiastic and dedicated leaders to manage programmes and daily operations at either our existing Hill House Farm or our newly opening 7th farm at Lower Shockerwick, set in adjacent beautiful woodlands and parkland, supporting the creation of our new ‘Bath hub’. You will play a key role in ensuring our young people have a meaningful, inclusive, and memorable experience with Jamie’s Farm, feeling the positive impact long after their visit.
What is Jamie’s Farm?
Jamie’s Farm is a charity that supports young people by combining therapeutic work, farming, and purposeful activities to help them thrive. Through residential visits to our working farms, we provide a nurturing environment where young people can reflect, build confidence, and develop the resilience they need to overcome challenges.
More about the role
As Team Leader, you will manage the delivery team at either Hill House or Lower Shockerwick farms, working alongside the Head of Hub to lead an impactful programme. Your responsibilities will include leading up to four visits per month, ensuring the smooth delivery of residential visits, and fostering a culture of empowerment and collaboration within the team. You will help achieve key performance goals including high visitor retention and staff satisfaction rates, while also leading professional development and team-building activities for your team.
You will participate in all aspects of farm life—leading walks, guiding young people through activities like gardening and crafts, and creating meaningful connections during shared meals and evening programmes. You will also serve as the main contact for a set of partner schools, building strong and supportive relationships.
About you
We are looking for an experienced and passionate leader who embodies the Jamie’s Farm core values of positivity, passion, generosity, collaboration, and professionalism. You will have experience working in a social work, therapeutic, or educational setting. Prior management experience is preferred, showing your ability to support and motivate teams effectively and you will bring exceptional communication, teamwork, and organisational skills to the role.
You will excel at developing meaningful relationships with diverse individuals and organisations, using positivity and empathy to inspire and motivate others. Your dedication to helping young people thrive, especially those in challenging circumstances, will drive your team’s and the programme’s success.
