The Dairy Assistants will work closely with the Production Leads and Senior Dairy Assistants offering you a variety of tasks to support the daily operations across the Rotary and Herringbone dairy sites.

You’ll play an essential role in maintaining high standards in animal welfare, milk quality, and farm upkeep. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who’s passionate about the dairy industry and eager to grow their career in farming.

We’re looking for two Dairy Assistants to join the two sheds and although the teams run independently there is the expectation that you’ll milk across both sheds.

Key Responsibilities:

•                     Perform milking duties with a strong emphasis on milk quality.

•                     Support animal health programmes and uphold animal welfare standards.

•                     Contribute proactively to the Health & Safety programme.

•                     Carry out general farm equipment and property maintenance.

•                     Assist with stock management and animal husbandry.

•                     Operate farm vehicles (side-by-side and 2-wheeler bikes).

•                     Maintain accurate records for animal health and milk quality.
