Pig Stockperson

We’re recruiting for a Pig Stockperson for a farm in Essex, CM5.

The exciting and varied role has been created for someone to become a key team member at a progressive mixed-farming business in Essex between Ongar and Chelmsford.
They grow over 300 ha of combinable crops and offer further contract farming services, including umbilical slurry/digestate application.
They also have a 600-sow indoor unit with progeny, finished on the same site and another site in East Anglia.
The business also has a few diversifications: food manufacturing, renewables, property, woodland, and countryside stewardship.
Job description:
  • Ensuring high standards of animal health and welfare, hygiene and health and safety at all times
  • Ensuring compliance with assurance standards
  • Working with the rest of the team on the pig unit to complete daily requirements, including feeding, welfare checks, moving, washing and maintenance
  • Supporting the on-farm mill and mix.
This job would be well-suited to a new entrant, looking to get into farming and has a passion for pig farming. For the more experienced candidates, it would be most relatable to a stockperson who is looking to be a key part of a small family farming business with a supportive environment that has a really good team spirit.
Person specifications:
  • Passionate about farming
  • Polite, enthusiastic, positive
  • A team player, motivated, willing to listen & learn, and able to work under pressure
  • A full UK driver's license is essential
The role is very much a practical one, with experience on farm(s) being very much a hope but by no means essential.
Desirable Tickets (not essential as further training will be given):
  • Telehandler
  • Masted Forklift
  • Tractor Driving
Our client is seeking someone for a long-term role. The opportunities, rewards and further training demonstrate what a key part of the team you will become.

Salary: £13-£16 per hour DOE

Plus:
  • 31 days holiday per annum (27 working days and 4 of the 8 public holidays)
  • Pension contributions: Employer 5% and employee 3%
  • PPE all provided and uniform paid for
  • Phone provided (for work purposes)
  • Great staff facilities
  • Growing business with an excellent reputation for how well staff are looked after
  • Full training provided for the successful candidate
Hours:
  • 40 hours per week with an extra 3-6 hours on one weekend in 3 (averaging 42 hours per week over a year).
Extra Info:
This farm offers great staff facilities. They have a highly supportive environment, with regular check-ins and strong communication across the business. They have a great team with some very experienced people, as well as some who were new entrants when they joined. The business continues to grow and has multiple enterprises, so, first and foremost, it is about hiring the right people and retaining them. If you see yourself working in a different part of the business due to progression opportunities or wanting to do something different, they will always consider it.
