CV - 35957

Recently completed the Level 3 Technical Diploma in Agriculture and currently work on a 350+ cow dairy farm in Somerset. I am now looking to improve my overall knowledge by seeking employment on a mixed dairy and arable farm or for an agricultural contracting business.

Ideally looking for work in or around Dorset or happy to relocate to Somerset, Devon or Cornwall, providing there is accommodation. I am a safe and sensible individual who takes pride in their work, always making sure that jobs I complete are done to the best of my ability and in a safe and efficient manner. Those who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with me will result in a quick learning individual who would be delighted to put the hours in and be part of a team for years to come

Farming background

Agriculture wise I have recently begun work on a productive dairy farm in Somerset where I have been increasing my skills with the day to day running of a dairy farm. Aside from that it has been self taught and college taught knowledge, as well as a good amount of practical, hands on experience gained through the college, consisting of tractor driving, milking, husbandry tasks, livestock management and general farm work. Aside from agriculture I worked at a supermarket for 6 years, which I started upon finishing my first college course. My roles there varied from general shop floor and admin work, a team leader position, security and home delivery driving. I have gained various essential skills and ethics through this job, which although completely different from agriculture, will help me with future employment.

Hobbies

Currently working as many hours as I get given so hobbies have been shut away! Keen landscape, livestock and machinery photographer. I enjoy walking, running and cycling so often find moments to capture with my camera while Im out down the tracks. I am highly passionate about the countryside so spend as much time as I can out in it, one of the many reasons of choosing an agricultural career.
