Calving experience
We run a nice fleet of John Deere 30 series and R series tractors from 115 to 215hp mostly with Greenstar so Greenstar experience would be an advantage. We also have a John Deere hillsider combine.
Onsite accommodation is available in a 2 bed centrally heated double glazed static caravan. The farm is in a desirable rural setting only 2 miles from the sea and 3 miles from the coastal market town of Kingsbridge which has numerous amenities.
We are looking for someone long term who is motivated and happy both working on their own and alongside a hands on owner operator young farming couple (aged 38 and 30). You will be the only full time employee other than the farmer so a willingness to take on responsibility and work hard will be well rewarded.
A minimum 40 hour week all year round is available so there is no concern over insufficient hours through the winter. Weekends and late nights will be required at peak times.
Competitive salary from £30,000 per annum depending on experience. Please apply to [email protected]
