The role and its link with Farming Unions

Alongside your appointment as a self-employed NFU Mutual Agent, in which you manage your Agency and sell insurance products and introduce financial services, many of our Agents also represent and champion British farming locally for the Farming Unions - it’s a partnership that is beneficial to farmers, to the Unions and to the NFU Mutual.

In the role of Group Secretary or Group Manager for Northern Ireland, you will be employed by the Farming Union to support its members - informing, organising and acting as a champion for your local farming community.

You’ll make meaningful - and potentially profitable - connections with farmers, growers, stakeholders and the rural community at large. You’ll represent your local agricultural community, sharing expertise and standing up for the countryside, developing relationships, and playing a valuable role in sustaining the UK’s agricultural industry.

As a Group Secretary you’ll ensure that the Union connects in a relevant way with farmers, growers, stakeholders and the rural community. Building the Union’s profile, you’ll manage membership and the related potential membership income, attend meetings and events, and provide assistance and direction for members to help solve their farm business problems. You’ll gain and share knowledge and provide information on the Union’s policy priorities and membership services.
