Job description

WANTED - Full Time, Live-in Groom - Near Sturminster Newton, Dorset

We are seeking an experienced, full-time, live-in groom for our private family yard.

The role involves managing a private yard engaged in trail hunting, showing, point-to-pointing, and Pony Club activities. The ideal candidate will be competent, hardworking, and motivated, with responsibilities including general yard management and caring for top-quality horses. The candidate must be able to turn out to a high standard, including clipping, and be a confident rider.

We value a good work ethic, a positive 'can-do' attitude, and reliability. Accommodation includes a large 3-bedroom house, which could suit a couple, especially if the partner is interested in gardening or maintenance. However, the primary focus is on finding a dedicated full-time groom; a couple arrangement is considered a bonus.

We offer a competitive remuneration package and the possibility to bring your own horse.
