Salary: circa £37,000 per annum plus Company car
Closing date: 12th May 2019
Interview date: 24th May 2019 at Newmarket
About the role:
As County Adviser, you will be coordinating all activity within your area. You will work with elected office holders, the regional team and be a key local source of knowledge as well as being able to offer advice and guidance on matters of policy and membership. You will be able to network effectively, bringing individuals together to energise lobbying campaigns and promote causes. You will support the work of allocated Boards or Forums to ensure that sector views from across the East Anglia Region are fed into national policy.
Reporting to the County Network Manager, you will manage a diverse team of Group Secretaries, who promote them and their services at a local level. Your role is to manage your group secretary network in order to achieve their membership objectives around income, acres and member numbers to grow their representative power.

Knowledge of the local area and its agricultural / land-based industry landscape would be ideal but not essential.
