Five Acre Community Farm CSA are hiring an assistant grower to join the team. We are looking for someone with experience of market gardening (preferably at field scale) who is keen to grow organic vegetables for a CSA – and is happy to work with our team of growers and volunteers in achieving this.
Where and what?
Between Coventry and Rugby. We have been growing field scale organic veg and fruit for 12 years as an organic CSA on 8 acres. We don’t buy anything in, yet provide a share of the harvest all year round for a membership of 90 families, harvesting twice a week.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
When and for how long?
3 days per week (approximately 7 hours a day) at the national living wage (£12.60 per hour) from March through October. The contract would include holiday pay and pension contributions.
What we offer in return:
Team spirit and intermediate on-the-job training. The assistant grower would also receive a modest amount of freshly harvested produce for personal consumption on a weekly basis.
