About our Organisation
The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.
We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.
About the Opportunity
An exciting opportunity to join the Soil Association’s Farming and Land Use Team to support delivery of our farmer-led research programmes working primarily on Innovative Farmers – one of our flagship programmes that brings producers and researchers together to find more sustainable ways of farming through on-farm trials. Youʼll work with a fantastic network of farmers, researchers, co-ordinators and our advisors across the UK.

You’ll be a fantastic project co-ordinator, able to reliably plan, monitor, facilitate and deliver on different activities. You’ll have the ability to work on own initiative and multi-task under pressure to meet deadlines. You’ll be an effective communicator and team player. You’ll be able to synthesize complex information for a variety of audiences. You’ll have experience of working with farmers and researchers and have a passion for supporting sustainable farming practices and fostering effective collaboration.

About Soil Association
The Soil Association is a charity working with everyone to transform the way we eat, farm, and care for our natural world.
We build real solutions from the ground up. For the last 75 years, we've worked with citizens,
farmers, policy makers and businesses, supporting them to explore the vital relationship
between the health of soil, plants, animals and people. Because the only way to solve the
issues we face is to understand that they are all connected - and that food, farming and
forestry are a vital part of the solution.
