Bonnyton Farm is not on any public transport routes, as such candidates will need access to a car or other mode of transport. You will also be expected to complete seasonal tasks such as grass cutting and strimming. We have horses on the farm, on the rare occasion you may be asked to move or provide feed for them, however if you are uncomfortable with this you would not be expected to do so. You will also be required to do one evening duty, this is typically 8.00pm-9.00pm.
We are a friendly and welcoming bunch who do this job because of our love for animals, if you feel like this is for you then please submit your CV and a short cover letter telling us a little about yourself and any relevant experience that you have.
Thank you!
