About the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN)

The Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) is a farmer-led organisation helping farmers restore the balance between farming and nature.

We support farmers by sharing knowledge, resources and case studies that help boost food production, protect wildlife and build climate resilience. We influence policy to secure fair rewards for farmers who care for nature, and we connect like-minded farmers across the UK.

Our network is open to all: farmers, the public and partner organisations. Membership is free.

About the Role

The Nature Friendly Farming Network is seeking a Knowledge Exchange Delivery Lead to help coordinate and deliver a major new farmer-focused knowledge exchange programme across the UK.

This is a central operational role, supporting the delivery of practical farmer-to-farmer learning opportunities, including farm walks, peer networking events, webinars, podcasts and digital content. Working closely with colleagues across policy, communications and delivery teams, the postholder will help ensure activity is well coordinated, operationally sustainable and delivers meaningful value to farmers.

The role combines programme coordination, stakeholder management and hands-on delivery. Alongside coordinating the wider programme, the successful candidate will also directly facilitate and deliver some knowledge exchange activity in the field, including farm walks and farmer engagement events where appropriate.

Key areas of work will include:

• Coordinating the day-to-day delivery of NFFN’s knowledge exchange programme
• Supporting the planning and delivery of farm walks, peer networking events, webinars, podcasts and digital outputs
• Managing event logistics, including venues, speakers, travel, registrations and communications
• Building positive working relationships with farmers, speakers, partner organisations and suppliers
• Working with the communications team to support event promotion, case studies and programme content
• Maintaining accurate records of activity, attendance, outputs and engagement data
• Supporting reporting, monitoring and CRM processes using Beacon and other systems
• Helping to develop practical systems and scalable delivery models for future knowledge exchange work

This role will suit somebody who is highly organised, proactive and adaptable, with strong project coordination skills and the confidence to work across a wide range of operational responsibilities within a small remote organisation.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable facilitating practical in-person activity, engaging directly with farmers and rural audiences, and coordinating multiple moving parts across a busy programme of work.

Experience in farming, land management, environmental, rural or knowledge exchange settings would be an advantage, but we are particularly interested in candidates who can bring strong coordination, communication and delivery skills, alongside a genuine commitment to the aims and values of the NFFN.

This is a home-based role, with regular travel across England, Wales and Scotland required.
