Job Description
Known within the organisation as ‘Programme Coordinator’
An exciting opportunity to play an important role in transforming the lives of young people at Jamie’s Farm. We are looking for a skilled and organised Programme Coordinator to join our delivery team and help deliver programmes that are meaningful and impactful for young people.
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 personal challenges.
More about the role: This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of our programme delivery.
You will spend much of your time working directly with young people, helping them engage fully in farm life through the shared routines and activities of the day, from feeding rounds and walks to mealtimes and evening activities. You will also lead sessions and bring practical skills that enrich the programme experience.
Alongside this, you will play a crucial role in coordinating up to 20 visits per year, acting as the key point of liaison between the farm and school partner from the point of booking until well after their time on the farm has come to an end, supporting with everything from group selection and data collection and logistics to developing plans with school staff for follow-up support.
About you: We are looking for someone with substantial experience working with diverse groups of young people, with exceptional communication, teamwork and organisational skills. You will be able to build strong relationships with young people and adults alike across a range of settings, influence and motivate others, and contribute positively to the wider vision and goals of the charity. Experience in a school, social work or similar setting would be helpful, as would experience of delivering inspiring practical sessions for young people or a specialism that would contribute to farm life.
Please see the full job description, desired experience and employee benefits by exploring the recruitment pack below. Don’t meet every single requirement? We’d still love to hear from you – your unique skills and experience could be just what we’re looking for.
How to Apply: Please apply via the Jamie’s Farm website www.jamiesfarm.org.uk/jobs. Read through the full recruitment pack and return both a completed application form and equal opportunities form to recruitment@jamiesfarm.org.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.
