A HANDS-ON OPPORTUNITY IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

WOODHALL ESTATE

We are looking for an energetic, practical and enthusiastic Estate & Rural Support Worker to join our busy rural team on our Hertfordshire estate.

This is an ideal opportunity for a graduate or someone at the start of their career with a genuine interest in the countryside, gamekeeping and rural estate work.

THE ROLE

This is a varied and practical role supporting the rural team across a 7,000-acre estate. You will be involved in:

  • Game and pheasant management
  • Estate, parkland, garden and grounds maintenance
  • Tree planting and woodland work
  • General estate maintenance and practical tasks
  • Supporting the wider rural team wherever required

ABOUT YOU

You will be hardworking, practical and reliable, with a positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in. You should be:

  • A strong team player and self-starter
  • Flexible and willing to work variable hours and early starts
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather
  • Keen to learn new skills
  • Adaptable and happy to help across different areas of the Estate

A genuine interest in countryside, gamekeeping or estate work is an advantage.

Experience with tractors, agricultural machinery or mechanical work would be beneficial, but is not essential.

A full driving licence is essential.

  • Training and relevant certification where appropriate
  • Potential live-on-site accommodation, subject to availability
