We’re growing (…in more ways than one!) and hope to add to our team. We’re a small, family-run, female-led, diversity championing wilderness-farmed mushroom farm. No prior experience is needed – it’s more important than you’re willing to learn, have a relaxed and happy vibe, and are interested in what we do (grow incredible mushrooms, care for the environment, aspire to be Scotland’s leading gourmet mushroom farm).
- MUSHROOM MINDER (!). We’re looking for a non-smoking minder to look in on things between 14+20 May. It’ll take around 20 mins plus travel time. £20 per visit. 5 visits needed. Nothing particularly physical or difficult.
- APPRENTICE MUSHROOM CULTIVATOR. We’re looking for someone who can work for two days a week – sometimes alone, sometimes with other members of our team – on days that are convenient to them. You’ll be trained in all aspects of indoor wilderness-farmed mushroom cultivation; pack and package for our growing list of trade and wholesale clients; help at tradeshows and farmers’ markets; support when we do exhibitions and give talks. We’ll pay for you to do food safety qualifications and do our best to upskill you. We want you to grow as well as our mushrooms! The role is moderately physical: there can be lifting, cleaning and stooping. A DBS is required for this role (we can help you obtain one) and we are looking for non-smokers only. Please note, the farm is likely to be filmed for television in the near future. You’ll need to be comfortable with appearing and being featured (you won’t need to say anything).
Our delicious Mushrooms are grown indoors, but you’ll have the benefit of our 15 acre estate with river and amazing wildlife. It’s a peaceful place to be!
If you’re interested, please email farm@deermanor.co.uk with a bit about yourself and why you are a fit.
