We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Farm Manager to take the lead on a 600ha arable farm in West Cambridgeshire. This is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of an arable enterprise and help shape the direction of the farm for the long term. This role involves all elements of crop production, giving a mix of machinery operation and general farm management.

• Strong agronomic knowledge across arable production

• Confident leading a team in busy periods, maintaining machinery, overseeing contractors, budgets

• A self-starter who's happy working independently and able to make decisions, but will also continue to build a strong team culture and keep team spirits high

• Someone who is happy with the office side of farm management, record keeping, compliance etc

• Curious and open to new ideas - no need for a background in regenerative or min-till farming, just a willingness to learn and get stuck in

• FACTS/BASIS qualified is a bonus, not essential - training available for the right person

​

What's on offer

• Excellent salary package, reflecting the experience and value you bring

• Recently renovated accommodation available if required

• Use of a company vehicle for work purposes

• Pension, life assurance and private medical cover

• 24 days holiday, plus bank holidays
