Farm assistant

THE OPPORTUNITY This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn by doing, with support from a friendly and experienced farm manager and team. No two days are the same, and you’ll be involved in the full farming cycle. You’ll help with daily farm work such as milking, calving, feeding stock, and general jobs around the farm, with guidance and support along the way. This role will suit you if you enjoy practical work, like being part of a team, and have a genuine interest in farming. You don’t need to know everything already, a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and turning up ready to help are what matter most. You’ll be supported in a safe and caring work environment, with high-quality PPE provided and access to well-maintained, up-to-date equipment. Health and safety are taken seriously, and you’ll work in a team where people look out for each other.
