Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting arable operations and land management

Accommodation is available on the estate, and training will be provided. This is an opportunity to build broad estate experience in a supportive, forward-thinking environment-ideal for someone looking to grow into a leadership role while staying close to the land.
