An exciting opportunity has become available to join Ruskin Mill College, Ruskin Mill Trust, as part of the 

committed team focusing on the holistic needs of the students. Ruskin Mill engages the students in practical skills therapeutic education (PSTE) and provides social enterprise opportunities for students working on the farm, growing biodynamic produce for the college kitchens, residential provision and the farm shop.

You should feel comfortable and willing to work in all-weathers, in close-quarters with all types of farm animals (in-house training/guidance will be given), and with machinery-based work, eg brushcutter, tractor (external training and in-house guidance provided).

• You must be able to instil enthusiasm and enjoyment into the learning process in such a way that can lead to increased self esteem and enhanced engagement in learning.
• Applicants for this post should have experience of working with young people and vulnerable adults with special needs, challenging behaviours and mental health difficulties and have a teaching qualification or a willingness to work towards this.
• You must have an aptitude for all-weather hands-on working, and experience of practical land-based work would be an advantage
