THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a hands-on role where you’ll learn by doing, with support from a friendly and experienced farm and team.

As a Dairy Farm Assistant, no two days are the same, and you’ll be involved in the full farming cycle.  You’ll help with daily farm work such as milking, calving, feeding stock, and general jobs around the farm.

You’ll be supported in a safe and caring work environment, with high-quality PPE provided and access to well-maintained, up-to-date equipment. Health and safety are taken seriously, and you’ll work in a team where people look out for each other.
