NSA Central Region Manager
The nine regions of the National Sheep Association (NSA) play a vital role in the organisation’s success. They ensure that the views and needs of grassroots farmers are represented across all areas of NSA’s work, while also providing opportunities for members to exchange experiences, voice opinions, and access valuable information through regional events and activities.
NSA Central Region is looking for a new manager to organise and coordinate its presence in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Staffordshire. This is a paid flexible administrative role.
This position is ideal for someone organised and enthusiastic, who enjoys working with people and has an interest in the sheep sector. You’ll be supported by a friendly and experienced regional committee, with plenty of scope to shape the role around your strengths.
The role offers an annual honorarium of £2,500 plus expenses, with responsibilities designed to fit around other commitments.
The regional manager will:-
- Organise and minute four committee meetings annually, three online and one in person, including the Annual Regional Members’ Meeting. Work with the regional chairman to set agenda items and implement agreed actions.
- Coordinate a small number of regional activities approved by the regional committee, such as farm walks, evening meetings, Field days, and social events.
- Assist with the organisation of a biennial NSA Next Generation Shepherd Competition (a regional qualifier for the national final).
- Work with NSA Head Office to communicate relevant information to regional members through NSA channels and ensure the region operates efficiently.
- Join occasional online catch-ups with other Regional Managers and NSA staff members to meet with and share ideas.
An induction will be provided by NSA Head Office, with ongoing support available. To apply for the NSA Central Region role, please send you CV and covering letter to Fiona Parker, NSA Activities and Support Officer, by Friday 14 August 2026.
