The Landmatch England working group in partnership with Bristol Food Producers are hiring for an exciting role as part of a project to support a new Landmatch scheme aimed at landowners and landholders looking to share land, and landseekers looking to start up new food and farming businesses.
Working alongside Bristol Food Producers and the central coordinator of Landmatch England you will be:
- Reviewing and approving registrations from land seekers and land owners from across the South West of England.
- Communicating and supporting land seekers and landowners throughout the matching process.
- Signposting to regional support including peer-to-peer networks, training, routes to markets, business advice.
- Facilitating meetings between potential matches.
- Being a champion for the Landmatch England service – attending relevant regional events to promote service, or run activities.
- Gathering and collating information and statistics for evaluation and funding opportunities.
- Actively working to support people with different lived experiences, identities and backgrounds to access land opportunities.
The worker will join the Landmatch England team that will consist of the central coordinator and also a North West of England coordinator who will both be hybrid working between home and their host organisations.
This postholder will be supported by the central coordinator and board, but will be best suited to someone who can show initiative and work independently.
