The Roseland Multi-Academy Trust currently consists of one secondary and two small primary schools and it is in the process of sponsoring a further secondary school which will join the Trust in the New Year.

The Trust’s vision is “Where Everyone Succeeds” and we put our staff at the heart of everything we do to create a team spirit in our highly successful schools.

Our Roseland Community Farm is a small school-based farm.

Our animals need to be cared for 365 days a year and the post-holder needs to be reliable, trustworthy and conscientious.

You will provide assistance in the preparation of resources for practical lessons that meet both the health and safety standards and requirements of the classes involved.

The position will involve lifting and manual handling of animals, goods and equipment.

Cleaning out of animal pens and general cleaning around the farm is also required.

Much of the work is outside and will need to be carried out in all weathers.

A flexible approach is necessary both with regard to duties and working hours.

(please note The Roseland Academy is closed from 20 December – 7 January for the Christmas break)
