Job Description:

We’re looking for an Agricultural Consultant with strong experience in SFI and Capital Grants to join our independent consultancy, supporting farming businesses across the South West.

The role will initially focus on grant and scheme work, before developing into a broader farm business consultancy position over time.

You’ll be working directly with clients from day one — managing applications, advising on scheme options, and supporting wider business decisions.

Why Join Us

We are a small, wellestablished, independent consultancy focused on delivering practical advice that genuinely improves farm performance.

You will have real responsibility from day one, a variety in your work, and the opportunity to develop into full consultancy.

We offer:

  • Independent, client focused work (no supply trade ties or product pressure)
  • Varied, hands on role across grants and wider business advice
  • Direct client contact and responsibility from day one
  • Clear progression into full farm consultancy
  • A practical, no nonsense working approach
  • Flexibility and autonomy within a supportive team environment

This role would suit someone looking to step up into a more client facing role, or an experienced consultant seeking greater independence and flexibility.

Key Responsibilities

  • Preparing and managing SFI applications
  • Preparing Capital Grant applications and claims
  • Advising clients on scheme eligibility and options
  • Farm business analysis and reporting
  • Client meetings and on-farm visits
  • General agricultural consultancy support

Requirements

  • Proven experience with SFI and Capital Grants
  • Strong understanding of UK agricultural policy and support schemes
  • Good communication and client facing skills
  • Strong organisational and administrative ability
  • Practical understanding of farming systems
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel

Location & Working Arrangements

  • Office base: Aust, Bristol
  • Home working available where appropriate
  • Regular travel across the South West
  • Part time applications considered

Package

  • Salary from £42,000 (depending on experience)
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • 28 days holiday
  • Additional time off at Christmas
  • Company car options available
