Poultry Layers Specialist

4 days ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Consult Full time

Are you a poultry farmer or layers specialist with real hands-on experience on farm?

Do you understand flock performance, nutrition, and the day-to-day pressures producers face - and want to use that knowledge in a role where you're out on farms helping producers improve results?

I'm supporting a well-established feed & nutrition business that is expanding its layers team across England & Wales. They're looking for someone who genuinely knows layers, not someone who can just "sell feed," but someone farmers will trust for practical advice.

This is a specialist advisory role, not a transactional sales job.

What the role looks like

  • Working directly with commercial egg producers across England & Wales
  • Visiting farms, discussing flock challenges, and offering tailored nutritional and performance advice
  • Using your knowledge to help producers improve margin, bird health, and egg output
  • Managing around existing producers while also building a small number of new long-term accounts
  • Being a trusted point of contact for feed decisions, flock performance reviews, and technical support
  • Working closely with technical teams and nutritionists to deliver best-in-class support
  • Using performance data (Eggnomics or similar) to show producers where improvements can be made
  • Representing the business at industry events, producer meetings, and on-farm reviews

This is ideal for someone who enjoys being on farm, problem-solving with producers, and building long-term relationships.

Who this suits

You'll be a strong fit if you have hands-on layers experience, ideally one or more of the following:

  • Worked on a commercial layers farm (enriched, colony, free-range, organic, etc.)
  • Managed or supervised flocks
  • Worked as a farm manager, assistant manager, or layers unit lead
  • Worked in poultry nutrition, production, or technical advisory roles
  • Have experience in performance optimisation, diets, hen health, or improving laying systems
  • Currently in a commercial or on-farm role but want something more consultative and long-term

If you understand how decisions on nutrition, management, lighting, or flock behaviour impact production - this role will value that knowledge.

Requirements

  • Deep understanding of layers, flock management, and the realities of commercial egg production
  • Good communication skills and the ability to build trust with producers
  • Willingness to travel across England & Wales, with some overnight stays
  • Full UK driving licence
  • Commercial mindset (training given if coming direct from farm)

Why people join this business

  • You get to step up from hands-on farm work into a more advisory, strategic role
  • You're respected as a technical specialist, not just a salesperson
  • You work with producers who value practical knowledge
  • The business has strong backing and an excellent reputation for service, technical support, and feed quality
  • They offer full training, ongoing development, and the chance to shape their growth in England & Wales
