1044. Groom – Private Yard

A competent Groom is required for a lovely private yard with 8 horses (3 of which are ponies) working alongside another Groom and under the Head Groom. The yard has a variety of school masters and carriage driving horses for a private family and their guests. 

The yard is busier during the Summer (June – Oct) when the family are in residence. Quieter during the winter months with less hours where possible.

Ideally a quiet but capable rider, but happy to school horses in a quiet, relaxed manner to maintain suitability for beginner and novice riders. It would be ideal if the candidate was personable and able to teach to a basic level, and at least have an interest in learning to carriage drive, if not some experience. Someone with an eye for detail, and some background or interest in top level presentation, confident handling large but well-mannered horses. 

Ideally the candidate will have the capability to cover the head grooms role, on days off and annual leave. 

Salary £28,000 pa neg. plus very generous discretionary bonus each year, based on performance. Single, shared accommodation can be provided. Sorry, no space for own horses or pets.

6 day per week, Saturdays off. Flexibility and lowered hours in down season, 28 days paid holiday, sickness allowance.
