This is an exciting opportunity for a practical and well-organised individual to take a key role in establishing and supporting a growing network of calf rearing units in Scotland. You'll be responsible for working closely with existing Rearers while also identifying and onboarding new units - helping to shape a robust, high-welfare supply chain from the ground up. The role blends stockmanship, communication, and coordination. You'll be out on-farm regularly - assessing calves on arrival, ensuring welfare and protocol compliance, supporting rearers, and liaising with vets to ensure best practice is upheld across every unit. Alongside this, you'll play a vital part in the planning and rollout of new sites, helping potential rearers navigate the process and get off to a strong start. You'll begin with an intensive two-week induction alongside experienced colleagues in England, followed by structured ongoing support. Though Scotland is slightly further from the day-to-day hub, you'll never be working in isolation - you'll be in frequent contact with the wider team and supported throughout. Main Responsibilities: • Assess calves on arrival to ensure they meet procurement specs and flag issues where needed. • Support tagging, vaccinating, and weighing processes on-farm where appropriate. • Carry out regular unit visits to monitor compliance and offer hands-on guidance. • Work closely with the veterinary team to maintain high health and welfare standards and minimise losses. • Gather data and assist with biannual veterinary health reviews across all rearing units. • Monitor rearer input via farm software, helping to track trends and intervene early where needed. • Follow up potential leads, assess rearing units, and guide new rearers through set-up and onboarding. Candidate Profile: • Strong background in livestock - calf rearing, beef, or dairy experience essential. • Calm, capable communicator who enjoys building relationships and solving problems. • Confident using digital tools and systems, or willing to learn. • Proactive, well-organised, and comfortable managing a varied workload across multiple sites. • Full UK driving licence required; vehicle provided. This is a role for someone ready to take ownership, grow with the project, and play a hands-on role in shaping the future of Scottish calf rearing.
