The Job:
Our client is seeking a capable Relief Poultry Farm Manager to provide short-term and ad-hoc cover across a poultry site in South Norfolk. This role is critical to maintaining continuity of standards, bird welfare, and performance during periods of absence, holidays, or peak operational demand.

The Candidate:
- Proven experience managing broiler or poultry units in a hands on role
- Strong technical understanding of bird welfare, stock management and environmental controls
- Confident use of ventilation, heating, feed, water, lighting and alarm systems
 -Excellent biosecurity discipline and familiarity with assurance schemes
- Ability to step into a site quickly and operate with minimal supervision
- Calm, decisive approach to problem solving and day to day farm pressures
- Flexibility to work weekends and unsociable hours when required

The Package:
- Competitive relief rate (daily or weekly, depending on arrangement)
- Flexible working based on operational needs
- Opportunity for ongoing relief assignments
- Potential pathway into longer term or permanent opportunities
