Work with us

Thank you for your interest in the Farm Carbon Toolkit and our job opportunities. We are a small but growing team of committed staff and Directors, passionate about food, farming and how we can support farmers to make a positive difference.

All our positions are also advertised on EnvironmentJob, LinkedIn and occasionally on other job platforms. 

Current Vacancies

  • Non-Executive Directors

    The FCT’s Board of Directors provides oversight and guidance to the organisation, helping to make sure it is running well and achieving our mission. We are seeking two new Directors to support our organisation through its exciting next phase. This is a voluntary role which is highly rewarding and you will be joining a professional and friendly team of Directors.

    We are specifically seeking Directors with experience and expertise in:

    - Livestock farming
    - An understanding of the challenges of decarbonising agriculture
    - An interest in IT solutions
    - An enthusiasm for setting the agenda around Carbon Calculators and advice for a fossil fuel-free agricultural future

    Over the last 12 months, we have continued to grow our turnover. In 2019 we had a single part-time member of staff; we now employ 20, excluding subcontractors. All indications point to this growth increasing in the short to medium term. Further information on our activities and governance is provided in the Appendix.

    Board members are ambassadors of the organisation and agree to a shared set of values that we aspire to. This includes being professional, respectful and inclusive, positive and collaborative, innovative and pragmatic. We are an inclusive organisation committed to building a team of talented people from all walks of life. As such, we encourage applications from anyone who feels they have the relevant experience and skills.
