Farming background

Recently left HMPPS Prison Service where I was working at a womens open prison in the farm. Responsibilities included livestock care (pigs, beef and sheep), tractor and machinery operation, field and land maintenance, and supervising and instructing others in safe farm practices.

Alongside this role, I was studying a Level 3 Livestock Management apprenticeship, developing practical and theoretical knowledge across livestock husbandry, machinery, and farm operations. Before joining the Prison service I worked as a Door to Door salesman on a self-employed basis, also having worked in retail. At school I was a member of Angley School Young Farmers club.
