Job description

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital’s Smart Farm is seeking a full-time, benefited Farm Supervisor for its essential farm program. The Farm Supervisor will lead the entire operation of the Smart Farm’s food production program and additional planning efforts in the Smart Farm expansion. The Farm Supervisor will be responsible for restoring, managing, and maintaining the necessary farm infrastructure and equipment.

Similar to roles at other farms and ranches, the Farm Supervisor will at times supervise a small team (2-5 people) to carry out their responsibilities. Unlike similar roles, this farm is owned by Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital which adds a unique quality to the operations of the farm. The Smart Farm Farmer will have the opportunity to collaborate with various external and internal partners both within the hospital and community as we look to expand the size of Smart Farm. This is a unique opportunity for a farmer to not only manage and operate a farm but also collaborate with leadership outside of the farming industry.
