Pig Unit Senior Stockperson

3 weeks ago

NewarkonTrent, United Kingdom Allen Farms (Coddington) Ltd Full time

**The Company**

Allen Farms (Coddington) Ltd is a reputable family-run business situated close to Newark in Nottinghamshire. The company is comprised of three main enterprises:
Pigs (850 sows, farrow to finish)

Sheep (550 mule ewes, lambing in February and March)

Arable (1200 acres cropping wheat, barley, beans and sugarbeet).

The company strives to be as self-sufficient as possible, with the core aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. To best achieve this, the farm has its own feed mill, allowing arable crops to be milled into feed for the livestock. The farm also has its own borehole providing its water supply, and solar panels providing much of its electricity.

The company always endeavours to improve. This was recently recognised at the 2022 National Pig Awards, where the Manager was voted the ‘Young Producer of the Year’. In 2023, the Pig Unit was runner-up in the ‘Unit Manager of the Year’ and ‘Unit of the Year’ categories. It won the ‘Herd Productivity’ award.

Due to expansion within the Pig Unit, an exciting opportunity has become available for a Senior Stockperson to join our Pig team. This role would ideally suit someone with previous experience in Agriculture looking for their next opportunity to progress in the sector.

A standard day would be 6:30am until 4:00pm Monday to Friday, working one weekend in three (reduced hours). There is ample opportunity for extra hours paid on an overtime rate should the applicant show an interest in doing so.

Agricultural/Livestock experience would be desirable but not a necessity as all training will be provided. Applicants will need to be hard-working and excellent communicators. They should be forward-thinking, organised, and efficient.

**The Role**

Based at our main site in Coddington, you will support the existing Manager in the day-to-day running of the Pig unit, particularly with the Dry Sows and Farrowings. The site is currently undergoing a partial upgrade, with new farrowing and weaner accommodation nearing completion.

The unit currently operates a three-week batch system. Sows farrow indoors, but live outdoors during their gestation. Progeny are weaned into the farm’s new Weaner building and finished in open straw barns.

At various points in the year there are opportunities to assist with the Sheep and Arable enterprises if desired.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Assist in managing all aspects of the unit’s 3-week routine;
- Assist the Manager in creating plans and strategies, and ensuring they are carried out accordingly;
- Assisting the various sub-teams, such as during Farrowing and Serving times, and completing all jobs relating to this;
- Assisting with record-keeping, feeding, vaccinating and stock-handling. Occasional basic maintenance, mucking-out and relief pressure washing;
- Complying to Health & Safety regulations, ensuring yours and other’s welfare at all times;
- Complying to Biosecurity regulations, ensuring disease is not brought onto the site;
- Operating at least some of the farm’s machinery - i.e. tractors, forklifts and telehandlers.

**Key Skills and Abilities**

**Essential**
- Knowledge/previous experience in the Farrowing and Serving stages of pig production, working as a Pig Stockperson for at least a year;
- Understanding of animal welfare standards and health & safety, ensuring quality assurance requirements are always adhered to;
- Energetic with a flexible and adaptable approach;
- Organised and time-efficient, with a keen eye for detail;
- A team player with excellent leadership and communication skills;
- Calm under pressure, with an ability to take control of a situation;
- Full UK driving license, living within commutable distance of the Coddington site.

**Desirable**
- An understanding of disease and medication practice;
- Knowledge of animal nutrition;
- Knowledge of new innovation and technologies available within the pig industry;
- IT literate as the unit steers towards paper-less record keeping.

**Benefits**
- Competitive Salary with bonus scheme paid weekly;
- 28 days holiday pa (including 8 bank holidays);
- Company pension scheme;
- Mobile Phone;
- Company uniform;
- Opportunities to progress.

**Salary**

£30,000-£32,000 per year, depending on experience.
