Upland Farming Traineeship
As you may have seen on BBC's Countryfile, Northumberland National Park Authority has launched an Upland Farming Traineeship to provide opportunities for people to obtain skills in farming.
We have one vacancy on the project.
- Do you like working outdoors in all weather?
- Do you want to progress to a qualification in livestock management?
- Do you want to know about additional skills such as tractor driving and welding?
- Would you like to earn a wage whilst you learn the skills and crafts of upland farming?
In partnership with farmers who are willing to share their skills and traditions in upland farming, and Northumberland College, who provide more formal on-farm training, the National Park is providing opportunities that could lead to a career in upland farming. The traineeship is supported by Lantra landskills North East.
The traineeship ends in January 2011. During the traineeship you would be paid the relevant age related national minimum wage
