Lantra is a successful commercially focused charity, providing high quality training and qualification products for skills and workforce development in land-based industries. With a staff of over ninety people and a turnover of £7m, we up-skill more than 85,000 people each year and work with businesses and other stakeholders to create innovative skills solutions. 

Currently, we’re working with a number of organisations to deliver the Horticulture Co-operation and Supply Chain Project.

In this varied role, you will:   

- Provide administrative support to project staff  
- Manage diaries and make travel arrangements
