General farm help with animals and accompanying elderly farmer on his tractor through the farm. General indoor help at meal times.

We have some work and care that needs done. We are not a commercial enterprise. We have an organic farm with small amount of animals but it’s a heritage farm with two residences on it.

Accommodation is very good. Help is needed for general care and maintenance. A few hours a day. It is a very well managed and organised farm but I’m on my own with two elderly parents who are in good health.

An extra bit of help is needed, the work is light really.
