The Role

  • Manage staff within the farming team, supporting recruitment and training.
  • Work closely with senior managers to coordinate across departments.
  • Ensure best practice to maximise yields and maintain high quality.
  • Actively lead on-site - setting the standard in a hands-on, approachable way.

About You

  • Strong background in vegetable crop production.
  • Confident people manager - approachable, communicative, and collaborative.
  • BASIS and/or FACTS qualifications desirable (or willingness to train).
  • Practical, hands-on approach with excellent organisational skills.
