Bath City Farm is looking for a talented new Site Coordinator, or two part time Coordinators, to maintain and develop our beautiful community farm site, based in Twerton, Bath.
The Farm is home to a diverse range of projects and people, serving people living in Bath and surrounding villages with children and youth groups, therapeutic support for people with mental health needs and vocational projects helping people grow confidence and routes into work.
As a working Farm we have community buildings and facilities including a state-of-the-art cafe, play area and amphitheatre. Our farming facilities include polytunnels, a barn and juicing facility, animal pens and shelters, and there are natural spaces such as woodland, allotments, orchards, ponds and therefore a wealth of activities to be involved in day to day.
The Farm is creating new spaces such as a yurt education space, new growing spaces and constantly looking for ways to create more sustainable farming systems such as rainwater collection, renewable energies and nutrient recycling systems.
In short, a whole range of skillsets are welcomed, however being extremely practical and competent is essential. Understanding of building maintenance essential and farming desirable. As a popular visitor destination and community hub, it is important that you are comfortable working with and around people safely and with care.
