- Farm Apprentice Jamie’s Farm Lewes
Farm Apprentice – Lewes
Deadline to apply: 5 pm, 01/10/2026
Love the outdoors, animals and working with people? Join the Jamie’s Farm team as a Farm Apprentice and learn hands-on skills in farming and animal care while helping create amazing experiences for the young people who visit us.
You’ll work alongside experienced farmers on a busy, environmentally friendly working farm, caring for animals and learning everything from practical farm skills to land and wildlife management. You’ll also play an important role in supporting young people during their week-long stays.
No previous farming experience or top grades needed — just a practical attitude, a willingness to get stuck in and a genuine interest in farming or animals. You’ll work towards a Level 3 Livestock Unit Technician or Level 2 General Farm Worker qualification, with plenty of support along the way.
If you’re 17–21, reliable and curious, this could be the perfect opportunity to start your career in farming and make a real difference to young people.

Working at Jamie’s Farm
Whether you are part of our delivery team directly working with young people, or a member of HQ working behind the scenes, a day at Jamie’s Farm is never the same as the next. Whatever your role, you will be helping disadvantaged young people to thrive at school and beyond.
Our values guide everything we do. We seek to ensure that even as the charity grows, we maintain the unique culture that we have established across our farms – a culture that is grounded in strong relationships, high standards and a can-do spirit, and which supports and challenges us to be the best of ourselves.
Training and Development
Jamie’s Farm is committed to providing Continued Professional Development for all its staff, with internal and external training. We run interim and annual reviews to support with personal and professional growth, as well as regular management check-ins. We regularly get all our farm teams together to feed into the future of the charity, the highlight being our our Annual Away Days in the Brecon Beacons.
Diversity and Inclusion
We celebrate diversity and make inclusion part of what we do every day. Our aim is for every staff and volunteer to bring their true self to work and are individually supported to ensure that the positive organisational culture we desire, is sustained.
Environment and Well-being
Our farms are all surrounded by stunning countryside. Whether you work in the office or with our delivery teams, you can reap the benefits of this beautiful, homely environment. The nature of the work is challenging and so we ensure dedicated time is provided weekly for teams to debrief and reflect together, as well as quarterly external supervision.
