Job Description
Permanent
Full‑time 45 hrs Mon‑Fri, 1 evening per week
An exciting opportunity to lead a dedicated team supporting young people to build resilience and thrive. At an exciting time of growth for our charity, we are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated leader to manage programmes and daily operations at our farm near Skipton, nestled in the sweeping countryside south of the Yorkshire Dales. You will play a key role in ensuring our young people have a meaningful, inclusive, and memorable experience with Jamie’s Farm, feeling the positive impact long after their visit.
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
As Head of Farm, you will help deliver our transition from Day visits to Residential visits at our Skipton farm, working alongside and managing a team to deliver an impactful programme. Your responsibilities will include:
* leading up to four visits per month
* ensuring the smooth delivery of residential visits
* representing Jamie’s Farm with partner organisations, funders, volunteers and other stakeholders
* fostering a culture of empowerment and collaboration within the team
You will also participate in all aspects of farm life – leading walks, guiding young people through meaningful output‑based jobs like gardening or log chopping, and creating meaningful connections during shared meals and evening programmes. You will contribute to broader Jamie’s Farm strategy as a key member of the Leadership team.
About you
We are looking for an experienced and passionate leader who embodies Jamie’s Farm core values of positivity, passion, generosity, collaboration, and professionalism. You will have experience in relational leadership and practice with young people. Prior management experience is preferred, showing your ability to support and motivate teams effectively. You will bring exceptional communication, teamwork, and organisational skills to the role.
You will excel at developing meaningful relationships with diverse individuals and organisations, using positivity and empathy to inspire and motivate others. Your dedication to helping young people thrive, especially those in challenging circumstances, will drive the success of your team and the programme.
