  * Maintaining high standards of hygiene and farm presentation

  * Record keeping, compliance, and performance tracking

  * Liaising with vet, nutritionist, and external advisors

  * Managing workloads and taking full operational responsibility

The opportunity:

  * Modern, well-maintained high input dairy system

  * Full autonomy to run the farm properly

  * Supportive owner with minimal day-to-day involvement

  * Beautiful North West location

  * Long-term, stable position

Package:

  * Salary up to £65,000 depending on experience

  * Guaranteed profit share

  * Modern family house included

  * Ideal for a family or couple looking to relocate

About you:

  * Proven experience managing a dairy herd within a high input system

  * Strong understanding of herd health, fertility, and production

  * Confident working independently and making decisions

  * Organised, reliable, and standards-driven

  * Practical, hands-on approach with good attention to detail
