Estate Worker

Croick is a family-owned and managed farm and estate at the top of the River Carron, about 10 miles from Ardgay. It has been in the same ownership for more than 20 years and the owners are permanently resident at Croick.

With the retirement of an existing employee early in 2027, the estate is looking to appoint someone into a full-time role involved with farming activities, deer stalking and general estate management. (fencing, grass, vehicles etc). The role will suit someone with some practical experience of managing farm stock and/or of deer stalking and seeking to build a long-term career in Highland estate management.

The person will report to our existing farm manager/deer stalker but will work closely with the owners.

The person we appoint will demonstrate absolute integrity and reliability in both professional conduct and personal judgement. They will be:
· Practical, adaptable and comfortable with a varied, seasonal workload.
· Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team with a focus on collective improvement and delivery of outcomes.
· Confident to act as a positive ambassador for the estate in all interactions with clients, neighbours and the local community.
· Keen to demonstrate attention to detail and pride in standards.
All applicants will require a clean driving licence, firearm certificate and references. It would be strongly preferred that applicants had experience of driving tractors and other farm experience, Argocats and other ATVs.
Accommodation is not currently available on the estate, but we will assist in identifying suitable local accommodation if required.
