Description

Roadhogs Recruitment is recruiting for a Pig Stockperson for a farm in North Yorkshire (DL7).


Working on an indoor 380-sow, farrow-to-finish unit, the successful applicant will be working as part of a small team overseeing the joint day-to-day management of the breeding, farrowing, weaner and young grower pigs.

The pig unit is a part of a larger arable, beef and sheep family farm.

The owner is involved daily, but the team will be expected to be responsible for their own decisions and carry out daily tasks without supervision, especially during busier periods in the farming calendar.

Experience working with pigs and livestock is desirable, but training will be offered where required.


Shared responsibilities include:


  • Sow services and dry sow management
  • Farrowing house management
  • Feeding and care of all ages, from sows through to growers of 12 weeks of age
  • Vaccinations and medication
  • Pregnancy scanning
  • Sharing the washing of the pig buildings
  • Routine procedures on a weekly farrowing system

Salary:
£27,000 - £29,000 DOE


Plus:
Three-bedroom house off-site, so own transport will be required.

Regular hours are 7:30 to 5 Monday to Friday and feeding on alternate weekends (approximately 4 hours per day).
