Job Description

We're recruiting for a Pig Manager for a family-run farming business in Dorset DT2.
The performance-driven farm seeks to employ a hands-on, performance-driven individual who can motivate and lead a team of four.

A proven track record and a strong work ethic to maintain an existing high performance is a must.
The pig unit has 1100 sows with progeny up to 7kg, fully indoor systems with automatic wet feed systems and fully ventilated housing.
Candidates need to demonstrate:

• Experience working with and managing livestock is essential
• Motivation with the desire for continuous improvement
• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work as a team
• Passion for farming, determination and capability with an excellent eye for detail
• Experience in working within a fast-paced environment
• Willingness to learn new skills
• Good understanding of IT systems, including MS Word and Excel (would be an advantage)
• Good time management skills

Starting Salary: From 40,000 DOE
Plus:

• 28 days holiday, including bank holidays
• Work Place Pension
• 3-bed family housing

Hours: 12 days on, two days off every 2nd weekend.
