About the Role:

Who are we, and what do we do?

You may not have heard of us, but there’s a good chance you’ve enjoyed our products. Avara Foods is one of the UK’s leading food businesses, supplying chicken and turkey to the country’s major supermarkets and well-known restaurants. 

We own and manage our entire supply chain, from farms to factory and all the way to the customer door – meaning we have careers that cover a whole range of functions. We have major processing sites across England and Wales, and an agricultural network of over 350 farms, spanning from North Yorkshire to the South Coast and Wales.

About the Role:

Are you passionate about agriculture? Looking for a new challenge? Do you have experience or qualifications in farming or livestock? 

As an inclusive, forward-thinking business, we take pride in our approach to investing in our farm management across Avara Foods and are looking for a highly competent and motivated Assistant Farm Manager to join our team, based at our Little Kelk, Driffield site.

What will you be doing as an Assistant Farm Manager at Avara?

As an Assistant Farm Manager, you’ll work closely with the farm management team, managing on a day-to-day basis, a modern company broiler farm.

• Operate the farm within effective cost management parameters
• Ensure that high standards of animal welfare, hygiene and husbandry practice are maintained
• Working on other farm sites, as and when needed 
• Covering in the Farm manager’s absence 
• Reporting to the Farm Manager


What you’ll need to be successful: 

• Own transport is essential - you may be required to travel to different sites
• Previous livestock experience, not necessarily poultry but an excellent stock person
• NVQ/Diploma level 3 in Poultry production or similar Agriculture qualification is desirable but training will be given
• Need to have effective communication and people skills essential
• Demonstrate a willingness to learn and self-motivation 
• Able to work with minimal supervision and carry out manual duties 
• Basic IT skills including 


The benefits of working for Avara Foods:

As an Assistant Farm Manager, you will enjoy a secure, supportive, and progressive working environment, where your contribution and achievements will be recognised and rewarded.

We offer comprehensive training as well as continuous development as you build your long-term career with us. You can also look forward to benefits that amongst other things include the following:

• £28,324.16 increasing to £29,814.91 after probationary period.
