Full job description

We are seeking a hardworking, reliable, and skilled individual to join our farm on a long-term, self-employed basis. This is not a seasonal temp role; we are looking for a dedicated contractor to manage and maintain our Christmas tree plantation throughout the entire year.

*Applicants must currently be authorized to work in the UK on a full-time basis. Employment-based visa sponsorship is not available for this role*

From the quiet growth of spring to the high-intensity harvest of winter, you will be a key partner in ensuring our trees are healthy, perfectly shaped, and ready for market.

The Role:
As a self-employed contractor, you will manage your own workflow across the following areas:

Winter Harvest (The Peak): During November and December, the workload increases significantly. You must be prepared for long hours and heavy physical labour in cold weather to ensure the harvest is completed on time.
Tree Shaping (Summer): Pruning and shearing trees to maintain their density and conical shape.
Planting & Ground Care: Precision planting of new saplings and maintaining the site to prevent weed overgrowth.
Site Maintenance: Routine farm maintenance, including fence repairs and track upkeep.
Chainsaw & Machinery Operations: Using professional equipment for harvesting and land clearing.

Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following essential criteria:

Valid Chainsaw Certification: A current license (e.g., NPTC/Lantra) is mandatory.
Self-Employed Status: You will be responsible for your own Tax and National Insurance.
Physical Stamina: The role is demanding and requires high fitness levels for year-round outdoor work.
Winter Flexibility: A commitment to working the long hours required during the peak harvest season.
Full Manual Driving License: Essential for operating farm vehicles and moving equipment.
Equipment: Preference may be given to those with their own basic PPE and tools, though specialized machinery is provided.

Rate of Pay
Contract Value: £32,000 per annum (Paid via monthly invoice).

Experience: Final rate is negotiable depending on your level of experience and meeting the specific criteria of the farm.

How to Apply
If you are a motivated individual with the right certifications and a love for forestry work, we want to hear from you.

To Apply: Please send your CV/Work History and proof of your chainsaw certification to [email protected]

Pay: From £32,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Free parking
On-site parking
Sick pay

Work Location: In person
