Crynodeb
We are recruiting for an Entry-Level Pig Stockperson for a farm in East Yorkshire (YO43).
The role offers a unique opportunity to work on a 400-sow farrow-to-finish pig unit (prodigy to bacon) on a three-weekly batch farrowing system. This two-stage system involves weaners on straw and finishers on slats, with sows in straw yards and the farrowing house on slats. The unit, renovated in the last ten years, operates a wet feed system throughout, except for the weaners.
The chosen applicant will work alongside existing staff with the day-to-day pig husbandry work, including moving pigs, vaccinating piglets ready for weaning, and making sure the pigs are fed and watered.
Person specifications:
Enthusiasm for pig farming
Team player abilities
Some livestock experience or an agricultural background
High welfare
Keenness to get stuck in and learn pig husbandry
Good work ethic
Full, clean driving licence
Salary guide: £12 per hour (plus up to £16 p/h overtime) DOE.
Holidays: 20 days per year plus bank holidays.
Hours: 8 hours per day, 7 hours on a Friday. Most days start at 7 am and 6 am on Wednesday for loading bacon. The weekends are on three weekly rotations.
Note to applicants:
Tying this role with a college apprenticeship with Bishop Burton College is also possible.
For further details, please call Roadhogs Recruitment Ltd.
All applications are dealt with in strict confidence, and our applicant service is free. However, not all pig jobs make it to the website, so please consider sending your CV even if you don't see a suitable vacancy.
At this time, we can only accept applications from UK or EU nationals with the right to work in the UK.
