A unique opportunity has arisen for a self-motivated, hands-on Farm Manager responsible for planning and delivering farm activities including animal healthcare, animal breeding and land management.
ABOUT US
Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation is the custodian of the first Garden City. Financed by our unique community reinvestment model, our vision is to make Letchworth a great place for everyone who lives and works here. We do this by effective commercial management of our property, which provides the income that enables us to deliver on our charitable objectives of promoting heritage and environment, improving learning and wellbeing, relieving poverty, and to care for the wider Garden City estate.
THE ROLE
Standalone Farm is one of our community assets that delivers educational, social, play, leisure and wellbeing opportunities for children, young people and families from Letchworth and the surrounding areas, with a strong focus on environmental and financial sustainability.
Due to retirement, a unique opportunity has arisen for a self-motivated, hands-on Farm Manager responsible for planning and delivering farm activities including animal healthcare, animal breeding and land management.
