**Position Overview**

We are seeking a reliable and motivated General Farm Hand to join our team on a full-time basis.

This is a hands-on and varied role within our busy strawberry farm, which is open to the public for

pick-your-own and also operates a farm gate and retail outlet. The position is central to ensuring the

smooth running of daily farm operations, from field work and logistics to retail presentation and

regarding wholesale packing schedules.
- Customer & wholesale support: Take and process wholesale customer orders. Prepare

invoices and manage basic administrative paperwork. Assist in farm gate and retail operations

as required.
- Seasonal tasks: Summer - peak workload with harvest, retail, and wholesale operations.

Winter - maintenance, tractor work, and farm preparation for the upcoming season.
- Compliance & safety - follow safe work practices and maintain a tidy, hazard-free work

environment.
- Other duties as required - flexibility to assist with seasonal and operational needs across the

farm.

**Essential Requirements**
- Current forklift licence.
- Strong practical skills and willingness to work outdoors in varying conditions.
- Good communication skills to liaise with management and wholesale customers.
- Basic computer literacy for invoicing and paperwork.

**Desirable**
- Previous experience in farming, horticulture, logistics, or produce handling.
