Ref 1868 Somerset

We are recruiting for either an experienced Pig Farm Manager or a skilled Pig Stockperson looking to progress into a management role.

Our client, a family-run farming business based in Somerset, is looking for a Pig Farm Manager to oversee the daily operations of a 400-sow farrow-to-finish unit.

The unit runs on a 3-week batch system and integrates both outdoor-reared and free-range production. Dry sows are kept indoors in a modern scrape-through facility built three years ago. Farrowing is conducted outdoors on concrete railway sleepers, while growers are housed outside in Hudson barns. Outdoor-reared pigs are finished indoors in deep-straw, scrape-through accommodation, whereas free-range pigs remain outside throughout the production cycle.

The farm prides itself on maintaining a close connection with the end consumer. All homegrown cereals are processed on-site through a mill-and-mix system and fed directly back to the livestock.

Person Specification:

Positive, proactive approach

Strong knowledge of pig production

Commitment to high animal welfare standards

Eagerness to grow within the business alongside the owner
