About Grosvenor Farms
Grosvenor Farms stewards 6,000 acres on the Eaton Estate, milking 2,650 cows whilst growing forage and grain for feed. We operate a circular farming system, recycling nutrients back into the arable operation and investing in innovative technologies, including a gas-to-grid anaerobic digestion plant producing enough biomethane to power approximately 5,000 homes each year.
As part of the wider Grosvenor organisation, we are committed to delivering lasting commercial, social and environmental benefit and are looking for people who share our values of integrity, respect and trust.
Why Join Us?
If you are passionate about farming, take pride in high-quality work and want to be part of a progressive business with long-term ambitions, we'd love to hear from you.
This role offers the opportunity to work with modern equipment in a forward-thinking farming business that embraces innovation, precision farming and sustainable agriculture. We are committed to supporting development and training, including opportunities to broaden technical expertise in spraying, harvesting and wider arable operations.
We offer a competitive salary, very generous non-contributory pension, and other benefits and discounts via our employee benefits platform.
