FarmAbility is a local independent charity that is committed to improving the quality of lives through access to meaningful activities for adults who have a learning disability.  We deliver farming and horticultural-based programmes in partnership with community-based and local farms and gardens. These programmes offer people who have a learning disability the opportunity to engage in daily purposeful activities that not only improve physical and mental health and wellbeing, but also foster a sense of community, and allow the development and strengthening of their skills and abilities.

We are recruiting to fill a new, National Lottery funded post, to support in developing our fundraising capacity.  We are looking for a person with experience in organising community fundraising campaigns, regular giving schemes and writing applications to small and medium trusts and foundations.  We want someone who has enthusiasm for our work which they can translate into the written and spoken word and help to generate support for our activities in different fundraising environments.  The new Fundraising Officer will be engaged with our mission and eloquent in their expression of our impact.  They will work closely with our Impact, Monitoring and Pathways Lead to better present our outcome messaging to funders and will also work closely with our Communications and Events Officer to plan and deliver community-based fundraising activities for our supporters to engage in.  They’ll be creative and great at telling our story and matching our work with the priorities of different stakeholders.

This is a multi-faceted role, with opportunity to grow and develop. You’ll work with colleagues across the organisation. FarmAbility is a warm and friendly place to work and we put a lot of store on creating strong team relationships and a flexible, accommodating work environment.  All staff share our goal of a more inclusive society and a determination to enable co-farmers to achieve positive outcomes and experiences within our service.
