Overview

Passionate about farming, rivers and nature recovery? If you understand farming systems, enjoy working with people and want your work to make a visible difference for rivers, wildlife and rural communities, we’d love to hear from you. We're looking for two practical, people-focused Agricultural Project Officers to work with farmers, landowners and rural communities in targeted areas across our catchment. One will be based on the North Pennines fellside, and the other will work across the Upper Caldew catchment. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape farmer-led projects that work for both farm businesses and the environment - improving water quality, restoring freshwater habitats, supporting biodiversity and building resilience to flooding and climate change. You’ll build trusted relationships with local farmers, communities and partners, coordinate a Farmer Group, develop Water & Environment Improvement Plans and help turn good ideas into practical, funded projects on farms and across the wider landscape.
