General Information
We are recruiting for a Junior Pig Stockperson in Derbyshire, DE6.
If you are starting out in the pig industry and keen to learn the ropes, read on.
The pig unit has recently been acquired and is now part of a family-run business with the vision and resources to invest significantly in both their facilities and employees.
They offer a comprehensive career development pathway for applicants seeking growth and advancement opportunities.
This unit is a 600-sow, straw-based breeding-to-finishing unit and is undergoing modernisation. The varied role on a three-weekly system will include serving, dry sow and farrowing house work, and working closely with the team to progress the unit.
You don't need to be a senior stockperson or have years of experience. What matters most is that you have the right attitude, a willingness to learn and a genuine passion for working with pigs.
Working Alongside The Pig Manager And An Experienced Team
You'll have the opportunity to learn all areas of the unit, including:
- Serving and breeding
- Dry sow work
- Farrowing
- Piglet care
- General stockmanship and animal husbandry
- Developing your understanding of modern pig production
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role operates on a three-weekly system, giving you the chance to gain broad experience across the unit rather than being stuck doing the same job every day.
