Part Time Experienced Groom, Newmarket, Suffolk Ref JF1665

Part Time experienced  Groom required for private, international eventing yard located between Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

We are looking for someone reliable, enthusiastic with a brilliant work ethic to work alongside the Head Groom providing excellent care for these wonderful event horses.

All yard duties to a high standard- mucking out, tack cleaning, hays, waters, feeds, grooming, turning horses out and bringing them in from the field, rug changing, etc

Hours will be approx 24 per week over 3 days which will include weekends when the rider is away competing. Some flexibility can be shown on the number of hours for the right person.

This is a great opportunity for someone who would enjoy being part of a friendly, hard working team with the rider competing up to 5*.

The Head Groom travels to competitions with the horses so the successful person must be able to step up and keep the yard running smoothly in her absence and at other times.

This is a non riding position, however confident, experienced handling of fit competition horses on the ground is essential.

This is a very hands on role and all staff work together carrying out yard duties to a high standard, basically mucking in where required. The horses welfare comes first first, so someone who can spot injury and illness is a must.

Car driver essential, due to location.

Good hourly rate offered to the successful person who can provide fully checkable references.
