Kindling Farm
Prescot, Merseyside
Posted: 20 Feb 2025
Deadline: 25 Feb 2025
Compensation: £24,570 per annum
Paid Full-time Fixed term / contract
Job description
We are looking for someone to help us deliver our exciting 2025 Heritage Lottery Project at Kindling Farm, with a focus on engaging a wide range of communities locally and across the Liverpool region to help shape the future of Kindling Farm!
Last year we purchased a 78 acre farm in Knowsley, to establish a pioneering wildlife and climate friendly farm for the North West. The farm is a perfect example of a traditional Victorian farm, with its neglected but beautiful red brick farm buildings set around a cobbled courtyard, providing huge potential for development of facilities to engage communities in sustainable food and farming.
We are looking for someone with great communication skills, experience of engaging and working with a wide range of people and groups and of organising and running activities and events.
This post is focused on engaging our communities in environmental and heritage activities with the wider aim of creating a sense of involvement in and ownership of the development of Kindling Farm. This will involve a wide range of activities, events and volunteering opportunities. We particularly want to engage communities currently underserved by heritage and environmental projects and this project will involve piloting activities targeting specific groups. This is both to engage them from the start of Kindling Farm and to work with them to identify challenges to engagement and solutions to those challenges to ensure that our future activities and work is accessible to a wide range of people and communities.

About Kindling Farm
Kindling Farm was set up to create a fairer and more sustainable food and farming system for all.
