About the P4A Programme Coordinator Role
The P4A Programme Coordinator will play a central role in coordinating and delivering the P4A programme, helping to connect parliamentarians with the knowledge, experience and perspectives of the agroecology movement. The role will support stronger relationships with policymakers, increase understanding of agroecology and help ensure that P4A’s activities are well coordinated, communicated and connected to RFT’s wider work.

The role will help agroecology farming organisations, no matter how small, to access and have their voices heard by parliamentarians in a more strategic, collaborative and coordinated way. It will help P4A draw together relevant evidence, expertise and practical experience from across the movement, respond to requests for information and research, and create opportunities for parliamentarians to experience agroecology in practice, including through farm visits and other engagement outside Westminster.

You will work closely with P4A’s Programme Lead, Ruth West, drawing on her parliamentary experience, relationships and knowledge, and with the Agroecology Communications Network (ACN) Coordinator and other RFT colleagues. You will be line managed by RFT’s Director of Programmes & Impact and will help ensure that P4A is well connected to the wider RFT team, its communications, programme learning and organisational systems.

You will be proactive and have considerable responsibility for coordinating day-to-day delivery, within an agreed programme of work. You will need to be comfortable bringing together different people and forms of expertise, keeping activity moving and ensuring that agreed actions are followed through.
