  • About The Role and Person

  • An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Grower to join the team in the Market Garden at Forty Hall Farm, a vibrant and intensive growing site occupying three hectares of land within the farm, demonstrating sustainable organic production techniques whilst producing food for local consumption through our on-site farm shop and Enfield Veg Co, our own local veg bag delivery scheme. 

    The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic grower, ideally with some experience of small scale commercial growing. The opportunity is an ideal step to gain more experience in organic vegetable production.

    The ideal candidate will enjoy working outside in all weathers, and will be able to work in high temperatures in polytunnels during the summer. They should have a commitment to engaging with the community and in working with the Farm team to create a unique facility at Forty Hall Farm. They will have a demonstrable interest in organic farming, food production and horticulture, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.

    This is a Fixed-term position from March 2025 to October 2025.
  • About the College

    Additionally, we are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of our students. We expect all staff members to share and uphold this commitment.
     
    Please note that the College does not have a sponsorship licence.  We are therefore unable to consider applicants who do not have the right to work in the UK.
     
    We reserve the right to close a position once sufficient suitable applications have been received to form a short list.  Early application is therefore encouraged.
