Driving tractors and operating agricultural machinery is a key part of this role, so experience in this area is desirable.

This role will offer the opportunity to work in practical agriculture but also provides a cohesive link between the farm, visitor offering and the teaching team. This ensures a high-quality experience appropriate to our students, staff, animals and visitors to best current industry practice.
