Job description

We’re looking for someone who wants to join our busy charity to make a real and lasting difference to people’s lives.

With experience in planning and coordination of events, you will have a flair for organisation, excellent communication skills and be able to inspire the team with your creative ideas and practical know-how! The Farm's events programme is a key part of the income generation that keeps our community services running for the people who need them most, so this role is central to income generation at the Farm. 

With the support of your team of interns, you will be responsible for the planning, budgeting, scheduling and running of the Charity’s seasonal events programme, including at least four events every year in April, June, October and December (the Farm Fairs). You will also play a key role in managing our site hire and wedding offers, as well as supporting the running of events by partner organisations who use our spaces, all of which drive vital income.

• Salary: £27,803 pro rata (£15.28 per hour)
• Hours of work: 17.5 hours per week, with potential for flexible working month to month. The busiest times are March – June and September – December, so this post could work for someone with existing commitments in July and August, for example. Usual working hours will be between 9 – 5pm, Monday to Friday, with flexibility and weekend working required for delivery of events.
• Annual leave: 25 days holiday per year, plus public holidays, pro rata
• Probationary period: The appointment will be subject to a probationary period of 3 months.
• Application deadline: 10am on Monday 12th January 2026
