Seeking Community Engagement Worker for Kindling Farm Heritage Lottery Project

Child harvesting broad beans

We are looking for someone to help us deliver our exciting 2025 Heritage Lottery Project at Kindling Farm, with a focus on engaging a wide range of communities locally and across the Liverpool region to help shape the future of Kindling Farm!

Last year we purchased a 78 acre farm in Knowsley, to establish a pioneering wildlife and climate friendly farm for the North West. The farm is a perfect example of a traditional Victorian farm, with its neglected but beautiful red brick farm buildings set around a cobbled courtyard, providing huge potential for development of facilities to engage communities in sustainable food and farming. 

We have exciting plans and ideas to transform our heritage buildings into a thriving hub of activity, but we want to do it right and make sure our communities feel involved from the start. 

This project will do just that, through a range of activities from co-design workshops, to wildlife walks to heritage skills opportunities. It is a hugely important time in our journey and a real opportunity to engage our communities in both the development of Kindling Farm and in protecting our local heritage and environment.

We are looking for someone with great communication skills, experience of engaging and working with a wide range of people and groups and of organising and running activities and events. Must be able to work weekends.
