Briddlesford Lodge Farm is a 200-acre dairy farm milking 150 pedigree Guernsey cows.

It encompasses a farm shop/café complex and a 'state of the art' milk processing dairy.

All the milk and much of the home-produced meat, is processed on site into high quality branded products, and sold direct to the consumer.

The aim of the business is to be self-sufficient and to promote Isle of Wight food and farming in the wider context.

We are currently looking for a highly skilled full time head herdsman to take on day-to-day herd management and associated workload.

The successful applicant must have excellent leadership qualities and communication skills.

He or she will be highly motivated, willing to deal with a range of farming challenges, and be able to delegate where appropriate whilst taking a 'hands on' approach to the daily duties and workload.

Responsibilities:

  • Maintain excellent working practices and animal husbandry on the farm.
  • Training of farm staff.
  • Staff rotas
  • Ordering of supplies.
  • Ensure regulatory requirements are met and exceeded.
  • Focus on profit and loss within the farming enterprise.
  • Bring new ideas and creativity.
  • Work closely with the other enterprises within our business and become a valuable member of our management team.
  • Overall responsibility to ensure that workload is finished to a high standard daily.

Previous dairy farming experience is essential.

We will require a covering letter to accompany your C.V.
