Academic/Research Enquiries

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@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.

    Closing Date: 12 noon, 12 February 2020

    Interview Date: 21 February 2020

    An exciting opportunity has opened up to join the Schumacher College Horticulture team as a Teacher and Deputy Head Gardener. We are looking for an experienced horticulturalist with a passion and knowledge of sustainable food growing; you will be able to teach and lead diverse groups; be an excellent team player; a skilled communicator; with a flexible approach to work and a commitment to values of Schumacher College and Dartington. We are looking for someone with experience of small scale agroecological food production who will be able to take the lead when required.

Please refer to the Job Description when writing your application. The college believes that how we grow our food is central to who we are as humans and how we interact with the world; we have developed a six month immersive hands on programme of ecological and regenerative food growing using principles of agroecology and permaculture – the Schumacher Practical Residency in Sustainable Horticulture.

    To apply for this post please send your CV or completed application form to recruitment@dartington.org along with a Supporting Statement outlining the reason for your interest in the role and Dartington, and what you believe you could bring to the role. This is a key element of the decision making process so please take the time to put together the Supporting Statement as without it your application is likely to be at a disadvantage.

    Please note; if applying with a CV, supporting statements are essential.
