Banc Organics is recruiting for a new grower, initially to work part-time with the support of our experienced grower in a role that is hoped will evolve in the next couple of years to a full-time post with full resposibility for growing operations at Banc Organics. The job ad follows:

Job Title: Grower
Employer: Banc Organics (Gwendraeth Organic CIC)
Location: SE Carmarthenshire
Salary: £9.25/hr
Hours of Work: 20 hours per week (more hours available seasonally)
Start January 2020
Closing Date 9 am, Wednesday 2nd December
Interviewing December TBC

This role is to be the main grower for our community organic veg box scheme. You will be responsible (with a team of volunteers, casual and seasonal workers) for the day to day horticultural operations on our growing site: cultivating; planting and tending crops; harvest; and site and equipment maintenance. You will be supported and trained by our manager who is a grower of many years’ experience.
You will be part of a friendly, dedicated team, working to make a difference in our local community environmentally and socially.
We need someone who has enough experience in this kind of work to be able to do all the basic tasks efficiently from the outset but who is keen to learn and take on more responsibility. The plan is that the role will expand to become a full-time job with full responsibility for the growing operation over the next few years.
It would suit someone fit, hard-working and friendly, ideally with at least 2 years’ experience in a commercial organic horticultural business.
