Farmyard Manager
Stepney City Farm
Stepney City Farm is a thriving working urban farm, open to the public six days a week, all year round. We need an experienced farmer with a background in all aspects of livestock management and rearing, working with volunteers and alongside the public. This is an exciting role, a combination of practical work and management, with plenty of scope for implementing your own ideas and further developing a busy open farm. You will be working alongside and collaborating with colleagues delivering a range of programmes including therapeutic volunteering; youth volunteering; schools workshops; corporate volunteering; and community projects.
One of the key objects of the Farm is food education for urban communities, and as such several of the livestock species are bred for meat which is sold seasonally at the Farm. The successful applicant will be responsible for managing volunteers working with the livestock, maintaining the livestock facilities, and overseeing all aspects of the livestock cycle of a working farm.
Hours: Full time, Sunday-Thursday, 8am – 4.30pm
Deadline for applications: Midday, Thursday 3 April 2025
Interviews: week commencing Monday 7 April 2025
