1 week ago


Thame, United Kingdom Cuttlebrook Koi Farm Ltd Full time

Cuttlebrook Koi Farm is the UK’s leading Koi Carp farm (located just outside Thame, Oxfordshire) and we are looking for someone to assist with the day-to-day running of the farm from March to the end of September 2024.

This work mostly involves cleaning filters, and outdoor maintenance tasks like mud-pond preparation, grass cutting etc. You would ideally have an interest in fish but this is not essential. You must be able to work independently, as well as part of a team. You must be conscientious and have an eye for detail as your responsibilities are directly linked to the health and welfare of live animals. A lot of the work will be outdoors using a variety of grounds maintenance equipment, so experience with operating strimmers and ride-on mowers would be valuable. We occasionally have pallets of 25kg salt/food bags which you will be required to help unload. We sometimes have customers on the farm, so all employees should be presentable and represent our company in a professional manner.

We need someone who can listen to and follow instructions, as well as complete tasks in a timely manner. You should be punctual, positive and enthusiastic, as well as flexible and adaptable. There are a wide range of tasks and skills required for this role, so being someone who likes to get stuck in is important. Someone who will ask questions if they are unsure about what to do and spends their time productively. Most importantly you should be polite, considerate and respectful.

The duties of this role include, but are not restricted to, the following:

- Catching and handling fish
- Cleaning filters
- Selecting/counting and packing fish for shipment
- Harvesting mud ponds
- General farm maintenance for example strimming, grass cutting, clearing pond weeds, hedge clearing
- Count and select small fish

Qualities and experience we are looking for:

- Enthusiasm and a readiness to get stuck-in
- Grounds maintenance experience preferred
- Experience with keeping fish preferred but not essential

What we offer
- Pay: £23,920 per year pro rata
- Full time (40 h/pw)
- Hours of work are 08:00 - 17:00 (including two unpaid half-hour breaks)
- 5 days per week (Monday to Friday)
- Probationary period of 6 weeks
- 28 days holiday including public holidays per year pro rata

We will give you all the training, skills and knowledge you need to perform this role. However, previous experience is always of great benefit.

Application Deadline: 28/02/2024

Expected start date: as soon as possible

We look forward to hearing from you
