Knowledgeable couple required for large country estate in beautiful Lincolnshire, approximately 5 miles from Stamford. The couple will be required to work under the current Estate Manager, assisting with the heavy horses, animal care and grounds maintenance.
Experience handling heavy horses is preferred as this is a crucial part of the role.
The estate consists of 90 acres and already has some lovely members of staff helping to run it. The family show and breed heavy horses, and also have alpacas, sheep, dogs, chickens and ducks on site so this role would suit a couple who are great with animals and have experience looking after livestock.
Horse care:
Animal Care:
Estate Maintenance:
Accommodation available:
Beautiful 2 bedroom cottage with 2 large double rooms and an open plan living, kitchen diner. This will be included in the overall package and the couple will not be expected to pay bills. They must be happy to look after the principals little dogs whilst she is away.
The role:
The estate is lovely and the family like things to be done neatly and well.
There is a very strong team in place already with great dynamics.
This would suit a very practical couple who love animals and enjoy working in a rural location. A couple who are happy to muck in, turn their hands to most things with a strong work ethic and a ‘can do’ attitude would be ideal. This is certainly more of a lifestyle than a 9-5 job. The person must be comfortable and competent handling large, heavy horses.
There is also an opportunity to be put through your HGV licence so someone willing to travel would be ideal.
