The Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) is a farmer-led organisation supporting nature-friendly farming and influencing policy across the UK.

We are seeking an Executive Liaison to CEO for a 12-month maternity cover contract, maintaining continuity in the CEO’s political, policy and external engagement with government, Parliament, funders, partners and senior stakeholders.

Working closely with the CEO and Head of Policy, you will coordinate the CEO’s diary and forward programme, research and prepare political and stakeholder briefings, draft correspondence and presentations, and ensure actions and opportunities are followed through. You will support the CEO at parliamentary events, conferences and stakeholder meetings, build senior relationships and share relevant intelligence across NFFN. The role also includes governance coordination between the CEO, Chair, Board and Senior Leadership Team.

You will bring experience in a parliamentary or policy setting, an understanding of UK parliamentary procedure, sound political judgement and strong research and communication skills. Excellent organisation, discretion and confidence working with senior stakeholders are essential, alongside a commitment to nature-friendly farming. Knowledge of agricultural and environmental policy would be an advantage.

The role is home-based, with regular UK travel, particularly to Cambridgeshire and London, including Parliament, and occasional overnight stays. A driving licence or car is not required. Reasonable business travel and accommodation expenses are covered under NFFN’s expenses policy, and reasonable adjustments will be considered.

The expected start is mid-December 2026, with the exact date to be agreed. The contract includes incoming and return handovers.
