ESTATE MAINTENEANCE AND LIVESTOCK ASSISTANT

Belmont is looking for an all-round, practical, experienced Estate Maintenance and Livestock Assistant to join the team: a hands-on, physical role spanning livestock husbandry, woodland and grounds maintenance, small property repairs and the upkeep of estate plant and machinery. You’ll be at the heart of the estate’s day-to-day work, in a small, committed team.

The work covers ground maintenance, the care and repair of plant and machinery, livestock duties, woodland management and getting stuck in with whatever the day brings. You’ll need to be physically capable, a good problem solver, experienced in running repairs, flexible in your approach, and at home with Belmont’s values and purpose.

What we’re looking for

• Practical, confident experience across agricultural and estate machinery, including tractor and telehandler operation.
• Knowledgeable, competent and safe livestock handling across cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, with a sound understanding of animal welfare and husbandry.
• Experience of grounds, garden and boundary maintenance.
• Ability to operate and care for tools, vehicles and estate machinery, and to identify and report defects promptly.
• Physically fit and resilient, with the stamina and willingness to work hard outdoors in all weathers.
• A positive, flexible attitude with enthusiasm for the varied and demanding nature of estate work.
• Chainsaw licence (CS30/CS31 or equivalent) desirable but not essential.
• Full and clean driving licence.
