Job Description

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic working farm manager for a diverse, privately owned 3,000-acre family estate located York, North Yorkshire.
The estate comprises a 2,000-acre in-hand arable farming operation, with a primary focus on combinable crops and potatoes. In addition to arable farming, the estate includes other enterprises such as residential property and holiday lets.
This role offers an excellent opportunity for a well-motivated, ambitious, and enthusiastic individual with significant prior experience in arable farming. The successful candidate will have the chance to work alongside, and lead, an experienced and highly skilled team on a well-equipped and progressive arable unit.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in arable farm management, demonstrating a broad range of skills. Key responsibilities include delivering the estate's strategic farming objectives, managing people effectively, and applying strong technical agronomic knowledge to ensure successful crop production. The role also involves responsibility for providing a supporting role across the wider estate business interests.
Applicants should possess a solid understanding of farm financial management, statutory compliance requirements, crop marketing, and crop husbandry and cold storage. Excellent communication skills are essential, as the position requires a close working relationship with the estate's partners.
BASIS and FACTS qualifications are desirable, and a full, clean UK driver's licence is essential.
An attractive remuneration package, commensurate with the position, will be offered to the successful candidate. Suitable estate accommodation is provided for the successful applicant.
