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:
    - Navigating organisational growth and development
    - Product and service development
    - HR: building and managing effective teams, best practices and HR law
    - Management accounting expertise

    Over the last 12 months, we have doubled our turnover. In 2019 we had a single part time member of staff; we now employ 12, excluding subcontractors. All indications point to this growth increasing in the short to medium term. Please refer to our 2022-23 Annual Review for an overview of our recent achievements and how our organisation is supporting the agri food sector to play its best part to deliver a nature friendly decarbonisation.

    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 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.
