The farm is 600 hectares in size and predominantly livestock focused - dairy, beef and sheep, with grass, legumes and cereals being grown for feed. As a university farm, its primary purpose is to support teaching and research and therefore you will be involved in trials and research projects.

The role:

  • Manage and oversee farm operations
  • Manage farm budget and business plan
  • Facilitate knowledge exchange, research and teaching
  • Involvement in research and trials
  • Team leadership - support and mentor staff
  • Ensure high levels of farm health and safety
  • Optimise farming income
  • Record keeping

About you:

  • Successful track record in farm management
  • Dairy, beef and sheep farming experience
  • Leadership skills
  • Driving licence
  • HND or BSc in Agriculture or related field (Desirable)

The Package:

  • Onsite accommodation
  • Competitive salary reflective of skills and experience
  • 27 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Enhanced employer pension contribution
