In my previous roles it involved experiences in the education and agriculture sector. I have
been a Pig Unit Manager at a college whereby I manage all aspects of pig farming, including
animal care, breeding, feeding and health management. My main objective was to ensure
high standards of animal welfare, quality and productivity within the unit. Furthermore, I had
to lead students and staff, ensuring tasks were completed correctly, directing staff and
student training in aspects of the daily operations of the pig unit. I played a significant role in
providing students with practical knowledge about the agriculture sector whereby I created a
learning environment to help students gain valuable agriculture skills, highlighting my
experience in mentoring students and overseeing and designing educational programs
whereby I fostered an environment of growth and learning. Furthermore, I was responsible
for financial management of the pig unit such as managing budgets for operations, feed and
equipment whereby a certain budget was maintained for the unit. Due to the fact the unit
was revenue generated segment of the college I know I contributed to the units financial
success. I achieved this by implementing a system within the farrowing unit due to high
mortality rates of newborn piglets during the winter months and this innovation increased
productivity and animal health showing my ability of forward thinking which is essential for
this role. I also maintained partnerships with veterinarians, butchers, abattoirs, national pig
association, farm assurance and other agriculture organisation. Due to the nature of the role,
it required communication with diverse groups such as students, faculty and external
stakeholders whereby this highlights my strong communication skills and my ability to
engage and inspire people about farming and agriculture education. I believe this previous
role demonstrates my leadership, educational, operational and strategic skills that is a solid
foundation for this position.
Previously, I have also been a Course Manager and Lecturer in Agriculture whereby my
background brings a strong combination of education leadership, curriculum design,
agricultural expertise and organisation management. In this role I have successfully
coordinated and managed a diverse range of agriculture courses, ensuring that all are
aligned with curriculum objectives and industry standards. I would like to highlight another position that I believe Is
relevant to this position whereby I was Animal Health Officer for Animal and Plant Health
Agency.
I have lot of experience with the livestock sector.
