Head Pig Stockperson

We’re recruiting for a Head Pig Stockperson for a farm in Aberdeenshire, AB41.

The 4th-generation independent mixed farmers have 800 acres of land and a 350 Sow, farrow-to-finish pig unit on one site. The arable land is used to produce cereal crops, which are then home-milled and mixed into consistently high-quality pig feed, enabling excellent unit performance. They are a small team that works hard and takes pride in the quality of their work.
They are looking to hire a Head Pig Stockperson responsible for the pigs' health and welfare. From assisting farrowing sows to selecting finishing pigs, there is variety and the opportunity to see a job well done all the way through. The pigs are indoors, and all on slatted accommodation apart from the breeding herd, which is kept on solid floors bedded with our own straw.
Key responsibilities:
  • Ensuring the animals on the farm are healthy, happy and treated with respect at all times
  • Managing stock through our weekly system
  • Monitoring of ventilation and feeding systems and flagging issues as soon as possible
  • Minor maintenance jobs with the initiative to flag larger maintenance jobs to the team in a timely fashion
  • Managing a small team and delegating to ensure everything is completed in a timely fashion
Person specifications:
  • An experienced stockperson able to treat both animals and other team members with respect
  • An attention to detail that spots issues both in livestock and infrastructure before they become real problems
  • A good team player who can also work effectively while working alone
  • A real passion for pigs and a desire to see continuous improvement on our farm
  • No machinery experience is necessary for this role as training will be provided. However, experience of similar feeding or ventilation systems would be an advantage, but by no means a deal-breaker.

Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 DOE

Plus: 
  • 3-bed house with central heating and double glazing
  • Staff facilities, including an on-site shower
  • Training provided
  • Staff clothing could be provided
  • Christmas activities

 

Hours:

Perm, full-time, working 1 in 3 weekends.

Unit Size:
