A hugely exciting Head Stockperson role with an innovative mixed farming business near St Andrews.

Strathtyrum & Fossoway Farms is a forward thinking mixed farming business covering 1,200 hectares over 4 holdings in north Fife and Kinross. The business seeks a head stockperson to lead multiple livestock enterprises through an organic conversion and towards a position as industry leaders.

The position requires somebody with enthusiasm for organic or regenerative livestock farming with the highest standards of animal welfare. A team player mentality is essential. Reporting to the farm manager, you will have over- sight of the beef, dairy, pig and sheep enterprises and take leadership of our stock team. You will also liaise closely with the head butcher to ensure continuity of supply to our farm shop, The Balgove Larder, through which our livestock products are almost exclusively marketed.

The successful candidate will be capable of managing and administering these enterprises as well as demonstrating excellent livestock husbandry. In addition to possessing excellent technical knowledge, you will be keen to lead from the front particularly where physically demanding tasks are involved. A habitually tidy and organised approach to all aspects of the role is required.

An understanding of mob-grazing techniques is desirable. A strong sense of pride in your work is essential.

A salary commensurate with the demands of the role and the experience of the successful applicant will be offered along with accommodation if required.
