An exciting opportunity to play an important role in transforming the lives of young people at Jamie’s Farm.  We are looking for a compassionate and dedicated individual to lead and deliver impactful therapeutic support, helping young people build resilience and thrive. 

What is Jamie’s Farm?  Jamie’s Farm is a charity that supports young people by combining therapeutic work, farming, and purposeful activities to help them thrive. Through residential visits to our working farms, we provide a nurturing environment where young people can reflect, build confidence, and develop the resilience they need to overcome personal challenges. 

At an exciting time of growth for our charity, we are recruiting several delivery roles to support the opening of our 7th farm, set in beautiful woodlands and parkland adjacent to our existing Bath Farm.  This role may be based at either farm as part of our new hub model. 

Known within the organisation as ‘Therapeutic Coordinator’ 

More about the role:  As Therapeutic Coordinator, you will be at the heart of our programme delivery.  You will oversee the therapeutic aspects of up to four visits from schools and similar organisations per month, providing one-on-one support to young people facing significant challenges. Your expertise will guide both individual sessions and group discussions, fostering a safe space for personal growth. Collaborating with visiting staff, you will ensure each young person receives the care they need, both during and after their time on the farm.

Beyond therapeutic sessions, you will create detailed progress reports and contribute to the immersive farm experience, leading walks, evening activities, and mealtime conversations.
