  • Passionate about hands-on farming and eager to build a career in dairy farming.
  • Willing to start at the bottom, performing physical farm work, and working shifts, weekends, and public holidays as required.
  • Serious about learning, open to feedback, and able to handle a tough, demanding programme.
  • Strong team players with excellent communication skills and respect for colleagues at all levels.
  • Proven determination and resilience demonstrated through leadership roles, sport, SRC, residence committees, community projects, or relevant work experience.

  • Exposure to daily routines including animal care, production, hygiene, record-keeping, and farm management practices.
  • Coaching and feedback from experienced farm managers.
  • Opportunities to demonstrate leadership, initiative, and problem-solving in a real farming environment.
  • Potential consideration for longer-term career opportunities within the group for top performers (not guaranteed).
