Having devoted the last forty years to building a large and successful Game bird breeding and rearing company, Heart of England Farms Ltd are now offering the management of the poult rearing part of that business as a once in a lifetime opportunity to a driven individual wanting to make their own mark in the UK game rearing market.
For this unusual and challenging position we are not seeking an ‘employee’ in the usual sense of the word but someone who wishes to be rewarded beyond their salary with the opportunity to run their own business and game operation but cannot presently achieve this for financial or logistical reasons.
Our opportunity offers an established farm rearing large quantities of pheasant poults. All equipment required to operate in terms of staff and orders, buildings, machinery, vehicles and trailers, penning, and feed systems is established and ready to go for season 2025. You will be the individual who will make next season happen by maintaining both the site and our reputation with our customers through the high standard of the stock delivered.
The role will involve the daily management of an independent satellite farm which has the potential to produce in excess of 300,000 quality grass reared poults per year using modern equipment and bulk feed and gas systems. This site has a guaranteed weekly chick supply from our main farm where we hold our breeding flocks and hatchery. The number of poults to be reared in the coming season is not fixed by any parameters so numbers to rear are all dependent upon the experience of the potential interested candidates.
Key skills and experience required:
* Prior team management/leadership
* High level of organisational ability being able to forward plan
* Problem solver
* Practical skills – tools/machines
* Able to motivate and create a positive working environment for your team.
* Prior game bird/poultry experience
* Poult rearing experience ideally from day old
The first year will be focused on you learning our systems and processes with the support of the Directors of the business. A significant part of the role long term will be in keeping ahead of the upcoming jobs before their timelines are reached therefore with this in mind the successful candidate’s second year will be when there will be a greater level of handing over of responsibility.
