We are looking for a new member of staff to join our arable team. The job title is Managers assistant and that is a perfect description of the job.

I am looking for a person to assist me on the farm. It is a job that would be really varied, and would suit someone aspiring to get into farm management. There would be plenty of opportunities to charge about the place on various pieces of machinery; a good bit of the job would require this, mainly learning from Dave the main man when it come to all things tractor and the two of you would then work together to get the jobs done. As well as that the right person would spend time with Dad learning about the principles of grain storage using both on-floor and internal bin systems. They would ultimately be responsible for all the grain storage on the estate. While this is a dusty and sometime thankless task it is a major role that comes with farm management generally because nobody wants the job so it ends up with the manager! Also  the nature of the work is so bitty with lorries turning up at irregular times and messing up any structure to a day, it needs some one that can work out what to do for themselves with the couple of hours between lorries instead of being told.

I'm hoping that the right person will be able to take on some of the running of the farm software packages, predominately stock keeping with Gatekeeper, but also the precision farming software. I will train them how to use the mapping software to create prescription maps for fertiliser applications, and planting density. There will be plenty of opportunities to train on the job, and accommodation will be supplied.

If this sounds like a position for you then send me an email with a CV to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it I'd prefer this format as it shows me that you know how to use a computer, but I'll except letters too.
