About the Farm Carbon Toolkit
The Farm Carbon Toolkit (FCT) is a leading, independent farmer-led enterprise. We support farmers and growers to reduce their carbon emissions and increase their carbon sequestration. For over 10 years, we have furthered the understanding of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture, providing tools for measurement and delivering projects that inspire real action on the ground.
Job purpose: To develop and deliver projects that provide support to farmers in managing greenhouse gas emissions and soil health together with management of farm carbon and soils advisors.
Overview of this Role
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in a passionate and purpose-driven team. We’re looking for an experienced farm sustainability expert with proven experience in working directly with farmers. In this role, you will lead projects that support farms across the UK to understand their carbon footprint and take real, practical steps in the transition towards a fair, just and nature-friendly decarbonisation.
You will also be part of the senior team, helping to develop new business opportunities, partnerships and projects that allow us to work with more farmers and help move the industry forward.
We are a dedicated team of advisors and experts, passionate about farming and how we can best
support farmers to understand and act on their carbon footprint. Working within our advisory

About the team and work environment
We believe in being collaborative, practical, empathetic and science-driven. These core values help build our culture, shape our purpose and guide us in our actions and decisions.
We are inspired by farmers who are showcasing and helping to support a thriving low-carbon farming future that produces healthy, nutritious food for all. And in our work, we are committed to working with all farmers to support them towards this vision.
We are a small, remote-working organisation and recognise the challenges as well as the flexibility that this can bring. We come together as a full team, in person, at least four times per year to reflect and discuss our work and plan for the future.
We enjoy working together, collaborating, and learning from each other. We are a dynamic, flexible and supportive team of people who care about each other’s well-being and the world around us.
We are an inclusive organisation, committed to building a team of capable and thriving people from all walks of life. As such, we encourage applications from anyone who feels they have the relevant experience and skills.
