Bridport, United Kingdom RB Bowditch & Son Full time

Farm Foreman/Tractor Driver

The role will centre around supporting the owner with staff management, fieldwork (all operations for dairy and arable carried out in-house), relief feeding and general stock work with occasional relief milking as required.

This is a very varied and flexible role which would suit someone with a real passion for livestock, but who also likes the variation with skilled tractor work. Experience and an interest in both are essential as is a strong work ethic and a positive attitude.

We seek someone to progress within the industry; training can be given where required, although a telehandler certificate is critical.
