Applicants should have a flexible approach to changing work times/days and working overtime as and when production requires, so having your own reliable transport is a must.

- have a tolerance to working with poultry, in an environment which can be dusty and noisy (safety equipment provided)

- previous experience in management, factory, production or farming is an advantage, but all training is provided.
