Careers

The Dewhirst Farming Group employs over 100 people across the businesses, with a diverse mix of arable, pig and egg production, anaerobic digestion and head office.

We firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset and that developing and rewarding our staff is key to a happy, settled and motivated workforce. The success of these principals is evident in the many long standing employees who are still working with us having often spent their whole career at the Dewhirst Farming Group in one or more of the Group businesses.

We believe in promoting from within where possible and so there is plenty of scope for career development at the Dewhirst Farming Group.

We often have vacancies coming available within the group and so if there are none shown on the vacancies page please still contact us to enquire about available positions.

TRAINING

Developing and rewarding our people is a key strategy of the business, because we know that a well-trained, happy and motivated workforce is great for our people and the business too.

We run bespoke management training courses with an external provider for “managers of the future”, which is very well received, and not only provides excellent development opportunities for our people, but also a great platform for people from different departments to get to know one another.

Regulatory Training

The regulatory side of the business is very important to Yorkwold and we take our corporate and social responsibility as well as the health and safety of our people very seriously.
