Responsible for a combination of milking and yard work consisting of preparing and scraping cubicles for the milking herd and youngstock, as well as calf feeding when required.

Outside of routine work, the primary focus would be upon maintaining the facilities and equipment around the farm, including keeping yards clean, fencing, washing and greasing machinery, keeping silage clamps suitable for feeding and occasional tractor work (topping, muck hauling etc).

There would also be a requirement to assist occasionally with other livestock (the farm has a small flock of sheep which would need checking when other staff are off).

Milking experience required as you would be required to milk the cows on a relief basis.

Ability to feed would be an advantage but not essential as training can be given.

Reporting to the farm manager and herdsperson you would need to be a team player, be reliable, conscientious and happy to muck in with the team as and when required.

Accommodation can be provided for the right candidate.

A full UK driving license is required for this position so please only apply if you have this.
