The Country Trust is looking for an experienced Programme Manager to lead and develop our flagship Farm Discovery programme, connecting children from disadvantaged communities with food, farming and nature through high-quality educational experiences.
You’ll lead and coordinate a geographically dispersed team of 26 self-employed Farm Discovery Coordinators, alongside managing one member of our employed programme support team. You’ll provide strategic and operational oversight, support programme quality and safeguarding, manage contracts, budgets, data and performance, and help shape the future development of Farm Discovery.
This is a senior role with a strong focus on enabling educators to do their best work. You’ll build productive relationships with Coordinators, schools, farmers, funders and partners, while using insight, evidence and data to continuously improve the programme and demonstrate its impact.

This is an opportunity to join an organisation with deep roots and plenty of space to grow. We’re looking for someone with a strong track record in programme management, who is outstanding at enabling and leading educators, confident managing complex and geographically dispersed delivery, and committed to creating positive opportunities for children experiencing disadvantage.
