Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

    Coleshill Organics is seeking an experienced and flexible full-time head grower to help maintain and develop the productivity of our 7-acre walled garden.

    Set within the heart of the picturesque National Trust Buscot and Coleshill Estate villages on the Oxfordshire/Wiltshire border, Coleshill Organics has been managed to Soil Association organic standards for well over 20 years. We operate a popular organic vegetable box scheme delivering 130 boxes a week in the Oxfordshire – Wiltshire – Gloucestershire borders area, as well as stalls at the award-winning Stroud farmers’ market (weekly) and East Oxford farmers’ and community market (fortnightly) and our small on-site honesty shop. We also supply wholesale to numerous restaurants, pubs and retail outlets in the local area. The business includes three polytunnels, a Victorian propagation glasshouse, a packing shed and various outbuildings. We have hosted many public and educational events in the past and this is an area that we are keen to develop in the future.

    We are looking to recruit a grounded, hard-working and experienced commercial head grower who can take the lead on crop planning and vegetable production and will bring their own experiences and ideas to this thriving business—and embrace this diverse and magical garden.

    As well as extensive horticultural growing and crop planning experience, you will have excellent organisational skills and keen attention to detail, combined with a range of appropriate practical knowledge and skills, including tractor driving and machinery maintenance, general maintenance, and so on. You will also have excellent communication skills and a proven track record of working well with others, including seasonal staff, students, volunteers and part-timers — plus the ability to get the best from them.

    For full details — and how to apply — please visit https://www.coleshillorganics.co.uk/newsletter/looking-full-time-grower/
