My Little Farm
High View Farmstead, Streat Lane, Streat, East Sussex BN6 8RU
Posted: 17 Feb 2026
Deadline: 13 Mar 2026
Compensation: £15/hour
Paid
Job description
Hours: 2 days/week, Monday and Tuesday 14-16 hours/week
Location: onsite, Sussex Farm
The role
My Little Farm is scaling a weekly farm shop and harvest-box service for our member community. To grow without chaos, we need someone in the engine room.
As Inventory & Fulfilment Assistant you’ll run the systems that turn farm and partner produce into reliable weekly boxes and shop availability — with minimal waste, clean processes, and a calm, well-organised fulfilment flow.
If you love building simple, high-trust operations in a real-world food environment, you’ll thrive here.
What you’ll do
Build and run our weekly inventory and fulfilment system end-to-end.
Maintain a clean, live inventory view (Shopify + internal tools).
Manage the relationship with the courier service.
Set up and follow packing and dispatch processes that a growing team can follow easily.
Own cold-chain flow, storage organisation, picking routes, and packing standards.
Track and reduce waste, stockouts, and fulfilment errors week by week.
Coordinate closely with Farm Ops and Partner Supply so availability and reality always match.
Help train fulfilment staff and volunteers as volume grows.
You’re likely to be a fit if you…
Have hands-on experience in inventory/fulfilment for perishable food (CSA, veg box, farm shop, grocery, hospitality supply chain, etc.).
Can design systems and roll your sleeves up to run them.
Think in practical workflows, not spreadsheets for their own sake.
Stay calm under pressure and bring order to busy environments.
Care about food integrity and want your work to support regenerative farming.
Enjoy improving a system every week — small gains compounding fast.
Success looks like…
Members consistently get what we say they’ll get.
The team packs smoothly and confidently, even in peak weeks.
Waste drops, margins improve, and revenue becomes more predictable.
Our fulfilment model becomes simple enough to replicate on future farms.
