Farmability says:

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 and autism. 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 looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our dedicated team of

Programme Leaders. Programme Leaders work with colleagues to plan and deliver day to day tasks

on our farm sites for our co-farmers to participate in. They are responsible for supporting co-farmers

in a range of purposeful outdoor activities, enabling them to engage increasingly effectively,

with the aim of developing skills and capacities. This support leads to greater enjoyment, increased

confidence, better physical and mental health and more independence for our participants. The

backgrounds of our Programme Leader team are very varied, with people coming to work with us

from all sorts of professional and personal experience. The thing that they all have in common is an

enthusiasm for our work, a commitment to delivering fulfilling and varied experiences and a passion

for sharing their knowledge and expertise in the most inclusive way possible.
