Pilgrim's Europe
My job
We are the largest pig producer in the UK working with over 350 partnership farmers to supply high welfare, quality pork products to premium markets. Part of Pilgrim’s Europe, we are a totally integrated business and are proud of our ‘farm to fork’ approach.
We have an exciting opportunity for a number of Breeder Stock Persons to join our team at Berwickshire Farm, a company owned newly developed breeder site, dedicated to promoting pig farming best practice.
As a Stock Person you will work as part of a small team carrying out general tasks relating to pig husbandry including feeding, bedding up, cleaning, and the movement of pigs. The wellbeing of our pigs is a priority and therefore the highest standards of animal welfare and safety must be maintained at all times.
Previous experience of working with pigs is desirable, but someone with a passion for outdoors and working within a team are the great qualities we are looking for. Ideally you will be IT literate and be able to maintain accurate and up-to-date data/KPI records, and you must be physically able to carry out manual work on the farm. You must also have a full drivers licence. Hours of work are 6.00am to 3.00pm, Monday to Friday, plus every other weekend. Flexibility is needed during busier times.
