Stable Groom

Job description

YARD GROOM:
This is a position for a **hard working** individual who even loves to work in the cold, the wet, and, sometimes, in the glorious Pembrokeshire sunshine. Pandering to some very spoilt, but rather nice, horses. The yard is a prestigious show production yard with over 30 animals winning at HOYS or RHI over the past few years. The ideallic yard is within 100 acres of pastural and woodland. Concrete yard so no mud

It can be hard work, particularly in the Spring, but comes with the reward of working and learning in one of Wales best yards. This is **manual work.** There is no riding but there may be riding opportunities and positions for applicants with proven talent. There is nowhere better to work in the warmer months and applicants with riding qualifications may be allowed to do so depending on assessment.

Applicants must live locally, be able to drive to work and be able to work in the UK. This is not a farming position. There is **no accommodation with this position.**

Previous Yard experience is essential, although this might suit a previous agricultural worker if they are prepared to learn and have handled large animals. Any equine qualifications such as BHS is desirable. Training will be provided if applicant shows willingness to learn and work hard. This is not a job for people who like drinking coffee around a desk in a warm office. It is working with large animals, requires physical effort and is non stop. Animals do not work 9 - 5 and require care every day of the year.

If this job description suits you, then you may be the type of person we are looking for. Contact us giving as much detail about who you are, what you think you could offer and any horse or large animal experience you might have. If we feel you have potential we will invite you in to prove yourself. Career pathway for the right applicant awaiting. Part time hours from 16 hours/week available on variable roster ideally suited to self employed workers looking for additional hours.
