The Person
This role requires a well-rounded individual combining hands-on capability with calm, assured leadership.
You will be measured under pressure, commercially aware, detail-focused and genuinely interested in sustainable land management. A strong listener with sound judgement, you will be confident managing people, making decisions and taking full ownership of a significant farming operation.
Additional Skills (Desirable but Not Essential)
Relevant machinery and safety certifications including Forklift/Telehandler, First Aid, Chainsaw, PA4/PA6, Abrasive Wheels, ADR awareness, Cherry Picker, Quad Bike and farm vehicle road training.
Why This Role?
This is a rare succession-planning opportunity within a highly respected Suffolk farming business, offering genuine long-term career progression rather than a short-term appointment.
You will enjoy significant autonomy and influence, with the trust and backing to shape operational decisions and contribute to the strategic direction of the business. Stability, continuity and long-term stewardship sit at the heart of this appointment.
An excellent salary package is on offer, alongside quality accommodation and a farm vehicle. The farms are situated in a beautiful part of West Suffolk and you will be based in a village which has good amenities, including a local shop, pub, primary school, plenty of social opportunities and a regular bus service.
If you are a Farm Manager seeking a serious next step - not just another role - we would welcome a confidential conversation.
