Strong practical farming or machinery experience
A hands‑on approach with a willingness to learn
Mechanical awareness and confidence around modern equipment
Good communication skills and a positive, proactive attitude
An interest in progressing into farm management roles

Another great opportunity to join our Team.
Farm PA/Admin.
Full Time

We’re looking for someone with real energy, warmth and common sense to join our team as a Farm/PA Administrator. This is the kind of position that suits someone who thrives on variety, enjoys being busy and isn’t afraid to get involved in whatever’s needed.

We’re not expecting years of experience or a background full of formal qualifications. What really matters is who you are. You’re calm under pressure, naturally organised and genuinely enjoy helping others. You’ll be the friendly, reliable face of our reception and someone who can communicate confidently with everyone from delivery drivers to company partners.

You’ll be supporting the partners directly and playing a key role in keeping the office running smoothly. From booking meetings and ordering lunches to handling internal and external queries, you’ll be involved in a wide range of tasks. There’s a strong focus on admin, so being organised, practical and detail-oriented is essential. Your job is to make their day-to-day easier by staying one step ahead, keeping on top of tasks and ensuring everything runs efficiently.

You should enjoy variety in your day, be confident handling everyday office admin, comfortable using spreadsheets and happy to turn your hand to whatever’s needed.

Some previous experience in a farming or rural setting would be helpful. You don’t need to be an expert but a general understanding of how farms operate and how agricultural businesses run day to day will go a long way. We’re a hands-on team and you’ll be encouraged to take initiative, ask questions and get stuck in from day one.

This is a full-time position, Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm. Please note, we’re not able to offer part-time or flexible hours for this role – we’re looking for someone who can be a consistent and dependable presence in the office.

If you’re naturally organised, good with people, quick to learn, and ready for a role where you can make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply, send your CV and a short cover letter to Emma Hicks ([email protected]).
