Job description
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our dedicated team of Programme Leaders. Programme Leaders work with colleagues to plan and deliver day to day tasks for our co-farmers to participate in.
They are responsible for supporting co-farmers in a range of purposeful outdoor activities on site, with the aim of developing skills and capacities and creating a fun and inclusive environment. This support leads to greater enjoyment, increased confidence, better physical and mental health and more independence for our participants.
Our focus is on a person-centred approach that enables co-farmers to work as independently as possible. As a team, Programme Leaders record individual co-farmer progress on a daily basis, thus contributing to ongoing monitoring and evaluation of progression. We have a broad range of experience within our team and we are looking for somebody who will ideally bring complimentary skills within one or more of the activity areas mentioned in the person specification.
Our Programme Leaders bring a wealth of professional, personal and life experience to their roles and we are really interested in hearing from people who have skills to share and who are keen to do this in an inclusive and enabling setting with learning disabled people, even if they have not worked formally in services like ours before.
