Our Walford Farm is situated in a 500-acre estate. We run a commercial farm with approximately 220 dairy cows, replacement youngstock and a small sheep flock. The farm uses HF cross genetics in an established Autumn block calving, pasture-based system. We have an extensive network of sleeper tracks with no fully outwintered cows or youngstock. The college has invested in additional health monitoring and breeding systems.
We want to continue to grow and provide the next generation of farmers with a high-quality training experience. There are excellent opportunities for progression, training and networking at the College.
A comprehensive package of employee benefits is in place including a competitive salary, above average holiday entitlement and eligibility to join a defined benefit pension scheme with Local Government Pension Scheme. Also, we offer generous occupational sickness, maternity, paternity and shared parental leave pay schemes, a high number of free on-site parking bays, access to a wide range of free CPD events and professional qualifications, flexible working policy, on-site gym, eye care voucher scheme, cycle to work scheme, and wellbeing support.
We offer a friendly, honest and respectful working environment and actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion. We take a supportive approach to staff development, both personally and professionally.
