Download Job Profile
The Farm Carbon Toolkit (FCT) is a leading UK enterprise that supports farmers and growers to reduce their carbon emissions and increase their carbon sequestration. For over 10 years, we have worked to further the understanding of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture, providing tools for measurement and delivering projects that inspire real action on the ground. Over the last 18 months, demand for our advisory services has increased. As such, we have been growing our team of employees and subcontractors to meet this demand.
We are seeking an individual keen to develop their career in sustainable farming. The successful candidate will work within FCT’s advisory team, helping to deliver projects that provide farmers with support and guidance to measure, understand and reduce business greenhouse gas emissions. This involves visiting farms to conduct soil sampling and data entry to help measure their carbon footprint. As such, this is a practical and highly physical full-time role that involves outdoor work 2-3 days per week (expected). It requires an understanding of sustainable and/or regenerative farming, with a particular emphasis on soil health and a willingness to learn. We expect applicants to have an experience in farming that enables them to interact with and support farmers, quickly building trust and rapport. To support you, we will provide specialist training on farm carbon footprinting, together with ongoing support as required.
