Farm Helper Support Worker

This volunteer role is mainly outdoors or in barns, all weathers, all year. It requires calm and patient individuals who are able to provide non-judgemental encouragement, be confident alongside farm animals and able to make quick decisions. We are looking for people who can commit to a regular weekly time slot so that our Farm Helpers can be reliably and consistently supported. Experience of this client group is highly desirable, but in-house training will be provided. Nearly all our Farm Helpers bring their own a support worker with them to ensure our safeguarding and risk assessments can be safely met.

Time required: regular 2.5-3 hours per week (morning or afternoon sessions, to be discussed, either 10am – 1 or 1-3pm)

Overall Commitment: Minimum 6 months

This volunteer role is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check.
