If you're happiest talking to farmers, walking fields, discussing soil health over a brew, and helping land managers make practical changes that benefit both farm businesses and local rivers, we'd love to hear from you.
One day you could be visiting a dairy farm to discuss water quality improvements. The next, you're organising a farm walk, facilitating a discussion group, helping a landowner explore funding opportunities, or identifying opportunities for natural flood management and habitat enhancement.
We're looking for someone who understands farming and can connect with the people who make their living from the land. You might come from a farming family, have worked in agriculture, or already be advising farmers professionally. What matters most is your ability to build trust, communicate well and turn good ideas into practical action.
You'll spend most of your time working with farmers and land managers across Cheshire so we're looking for someone located within the Cheshire Region, while collaborating with colleagues and partners from across Greater Manchester and Merseyside as part of the wider Mersey Rivers Trust team.
What we offer:
- Salary £25,000-£28,000 depending on experience.
- Home-based working.
- The chance to make a real difference across Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
- A supportive team passionate about healthy rivers and sustainable land management.
- Location: Cheshire, with regular travel across the Mersey catchment.
If you've got mud on your boots, enjoy a good conversation at a farm gate, and want to help shape a healthier future for our rivers and farming communities, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply by 11:59pm on Sunday 29 November 2026.
