Pig Manager
Are you looking for the next step? We are looking for an experienced pig stockperson who wants to take the next step into farm management.
Our client, a family-owned business, is seeking to employ a Farm Manager to join their team and be responsible for the operation of their 400-sow farrow-to-finish unit.
The pig unit is a 3-week batch farrow-to-finish, outdoor-reared, free-range setup. Dry sows are housed inside a modern scrape-through building built 3 years ago. Farrowing is outside on concrete railway sleepers; growers are outside in Hudson barns; the outdoor-reared pigs then finish inside in deep straw scrapes through housing; and the free-range remain outside for their duration.
The farm's ethos is to get as close as possible to the end consumer. Their homegrown cereals are all fed back to livestock through their farm mill and mix setup.
Person specifications:
- Positive attitude
- Good pig production knowledge
- High animal welfare
- Someone keen to develop within the business alongside the business owner
The role is flexible, so candidates can help shape it, allowing growth in staff management and consumer relationships, depending on their interests.
Salary: From £35,000 DOE
Plus: Assistance with housing
Featured Candidate
Entry-Level Farm Worker
Our candidate is seeking a career change.
They spent much of my childhood helping a local farm with a wide range of practical, hands-on tasks, which built their confidence, resilience, and love for physical outdoor work. Although their professional career has been primarily office-based, they have always known that their true passion lies in working outdoors, around animals, and in roles that demand physical effort.
Now in their thirties, they are actively seeking a career change that aligns with these passions. They are not deterred by hard labour, long hours, or challenging weather conditions. While they do not have the formal experience many employers look for, they are a quick learner with strong practical instincts and a genuine eagerness to develop new skills.
They are more than willing to start in a part-time or trainee capacity until they are fully prepared for a full-time position.
