The Natural Vegetable Company (www.natvegco.com) was established ten years ago to grow and trade in organically grown produce in the Inverness area. A complete range of seasonal vegetables are grown in commercial polytunnels and on a field scale on the ten acres holding at Torbreck on the edge of Inverness. Produce is traded by way of a box scheme to regular customers and to restaurants and hotels. The business now well established requires assistance to develop and expand.
We are looking to fill what would initially be a part-time position for an assistant to get involved in all aspects of a developing business. It is anticipated that training in practical aspects of the business will be provided. This could lead on to a full time post.
Candidates should have the following skill sets, interests and attributes:

1. An interest or prior knowledge in organic methods of growing. Some experience in growing or farm work would be desirable
2. Business or enterprise skills or experience would be desirable
3. The enthusiasm to work in a farm environment and learn a number of practical and business skills
4. The commitment to learning and training over a period of time with the aims of developing personal skills and the viability of the business
5. The ability to respond to physically demanding types of work in all weathers and seasons
6. The candidate should be motivated by modest but fair remuneration – rates to be agreed
7. A driving licence would be desirable.

Please apply with a CV to:
