Program Details

🌿 Wheel Farm Project: A Blend of Nature, Hospitality & Hands-On Help
Welcome to Wheel Farm — a charming, down-to-earth countryside retreat where we’re building a space that’s clean, welcoming, and full of life. Our project is all about creating a peaceful, well-kept environment both indoors and out, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and getting involved.

What We’re Looking For:

🧹 Indoor Help
We’d love someone who enjoys housekeeping — keeping the living spaces tidy, fresh, and inviting. If you take pride in a clean kitchen, enjoy organizing, and like making spaces feel homely, you’ll fit right in.

🌱 Outdoor Projects
There’s always something to do outside! From gardening and light maintenance to creative outdoor tasks, we’re looking for someone who loves nature and doesn’t mind getting a bit muddy. If you enjoy working with your hands and seeing the results of your efforts, this is for you.

🤝 People Person
We’re a social bunch and often have guests or visitors. If you enjoy meeting new people, sharing stories, and being part of a friendly community, you’ll thrive here.

Why Join Us?
This is a great opportunity to experience rural life, contribute to a meaningful project, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. We’re not fancy — just looking for someone reliable, cheerful, and ready to help out. Just a few minutes drive from the finest beaches in North Devon and on the edge of Exmoor Country Park.
