The family partnership consists of a 2800-acre farm near Fairford, Glos and is looking for a placement student/graduate/general farm worker for a year starting June/July 2026. The farm is predominantly arable 2000 acres with a further 500 acres of extensive grassland plus woodland, Sfi, CSS agreements etc. The grassland is under various stewardship agreements and is grazed by 300 angus cross stores which are bought in as weaned calves. Store lambs arrive for the winter months.
An interest in the livestock is as important as a willingness to get involved with all aspects of tractor driving. The main role will involve grain cart, loading grain lorries, cultivations, drilling, back up sprayer driver, applying fertiliser in the spring and looking after and bedding the animals in the winter months.
The farm has many diversified aspects to the business. 8000 campers arrive for the Fairford Airshow, (the largest airshow in Europe) we also run a wedding and events barn www.jennersbarn.co.uk which we are looking to promote and grow.
Other parts of the business include six glamping sites by the River Coln, a holiday house, various storage and workshops,17 various houses let out on permanent tenancies, trackway hire, fly fishing and mineral extraction.
Please check out the farm website www.greatfarm.co.uk
A willingness to assist in all aspects of the business with equal enthusiasm is required. This could vary from putting fertiliser on in the spring to checking campers in for the airshow, to mowing the lawn for the wedding venue. There is a possibility of fulltime employment for the right candidate.
A recently refurbished one bedroomed flat is available in walking distance to the farm if required.
Many thanks
