**Background to Farm Operations**

1. The Farm is located near Murray Bridge in South Australia close to the SE Freeway. Adelaide CBD is about 70 minutes distant by car.

2. The Farm operates a modern 12 shed high tech, 17 birds/m2 bird per batch commercial broiler farm under a number of ‘checks and balances’ including
- an Processor Contract (performance based),
- Ingham Grow-out Manual requirements (performance based),
- RSPCA accreditation (performance based),

- ad hoc assessments from major Australian supermarkets and Fast Food retailers,
- the EPA requirements,
- Food SA requirements,
- Bio-security SA requirements,
- Work Safe SA provisions, and
- Rural City of Murray Bridge provisions.

3. The Farm works on a 5.7 annual batch rate with timings largely determined the Processor all tied in to retail just in time demand. Catch programs can fluctuate with immediate effect.

4. The Farm places upmost importance on employee safety, bird welfare, various environmental requirements and aspirations, environmental sustainability as well as working cooperatively with the Processor in the industry ‘silo’, working with ‘regulators’ in the industry, conducting business fairly and maintaining a sustainable business.

5. Non Compliance against set benchmarks of the Processor or the RSPCA can result in the farm losing its Contract and, hence, employees losing their jobs.

6. The Farm generally works in a ‘grower pool’ in regard to performance.

7. This farm operates in a very competitive business environment. As an accredited farm we must measure up well against other States farms’ in the ‘silo’ as well as against other competing Chicken Industry silo farms.

8. The higher standard commercial broiler farm (typically supplying supermarkets and fast food outlets) has experience significant change since 2014. This Farm operates on a continual improvement model. Consumer and hence retailer expectations on bird welfare and environmental issues such as bio-security, CO2 and bio-diversity are currently being addressed by our industry. We will be required to respond accordingly.

**Requirements**:
1. Assistant Managers are expected to take shared responsibility for farm performance and management with the Farm Manager in a very competitive industry mainly supplying supermarkets and fast food outlets.

2. The Assistant Manager will at various times ‘relieve’ the Farm Manager of some duties during a batch (recognising that bird husbandry is a 24/7 activity during a batch).

3. This Farm uses the Assistant Manager position to expose ‘potential’ Farm Managers to modern chicken broiler farm management. We therefore expect on arrival you will hold a demonstrated and successful track record of having worked at Assistant Manager level.
