Dean Christopher Stevenson, Isle of Man, ready to relocate to UK immediately Requires: Full Time Job (Paid) starting ASAP
Preferred location: Any area. Accommodation required if relocation necessary.
Type of work/experience required: As I have trained working sheepdogs I'll like to be involved with sheep ideally so my dogs can be worked. But I'll throw my hand at all types of livestock.
Experience: I've been involved with working dogs for 3 years, and have more knowledge in working dogs than I do actual farm duties. However I have roughly 1 years experience on a working farm. My areas covered are Shepherd work, moving the stock on the hill etc across a wide range. Sheep dipping and dosing of wormer and vitamins. I've been part of the AI process. I've also done some tailing also. Unfortunately I haven't yet done a lambing season or any actual shearing. I'm willing to throw myself at anything and learn fast. My passion to be part of a working farm base is all I ever want. The Isle of Man unfortunately doesn't hold enough opportunity for new workers to begin a career. Id love opportunity to prove to you I can be beneficial and the areas I'm new too, I'll learn fast and give 100%
