General Farm Worker Dillington Estate & Farms South Somerset
Arable, Dairy, Beef
UK
Ilminster
South West
Description

We are an 800-hectare mixed farming business in South Somerset, built around an integrated dairy and arable system focused on producing as much as possible from homegrown feed. We are commercially driven, performance-led and continually refining how we operate.

Our cows are milked through six Lely robots under a Tesco contract, with the wider system structured around efficient, sustainable production. The business was recently recognised at the Cream Awards for sustainability in dairying, but our focus remains firmly on delivering strong commercial results.

As we continue to develop, we are replacing our Harper Adams placement student with a permanent, full-time member of staff.

The Role

This is a key operational position within a genuinely mixed system.

You will be involved in feeding one week in every three, stock work, cultivations and drilling, umbilical and slurry operations, forage and clamp work, relief combining and the wider seasonal workload. The balance shifts through the year, and flexibility is essential.

You will work across the business and be expected to take responsibility where it is needed.

The Person

This role would suit someone who has been on a farm for a few years and is ready to step up, or a graduate looking to build real responsibility within a progressive business.

We are looking for someone who takes ownership, sets high standards and wants to contribute to a team that is moving forward. You must be willing to get involved across all areas of the business and take pride in doing jobs properly.

For the right person, there is scope to increase responsibility over time, with support and training available for someone working towards a future management role.

Shared accommodation is available in the village by separate agreement.

Competitive salary dependent on experience.

Please note: we are unable to offer visa sponsorship, so applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.

If you are serious about building a long-term career in agriculture and want to be part of an ambitious, forward-moving business, we would like to hear from you.

Please apply with a CV and a covering letter
