Business Systems Analyst

About our Organisation

The Soil Association, formed in 1946, is the only UK charity which works across the spectrum of human health, the environment and animal welfare. That’s because we cannot tackle these issues in isolation.

We campaign for change, we support farming innovation, we serve healthy food in communities, we support and grow the organic market, and we protect forests. We couldn't do any of this without our supporters, partners, donors and dedicated staff. We make a difference in the world where it’s needed the most.

Working as part of a small and flexible IT Service Team, the Business Systems Analyst takes principal operational responsibility for the support of CRM and Data systems used by the Soil Association group of companies.
