About this role
Leading a yard and feed store operation at Mole Valley Farmers means taking ownership of daily site management, stock control, and team performance while serving the agricultural community in Yeovil. You'll oversee a team delivering customer service across the yard and feed store, ensure compliance with health and safety standards, and drive commercial results through stock management, merchandising, and promotional activity. The role requires someone equally comfortable with operational planning, data analysis, and hands-on problem-solving.
This position suits an experienced operational or retail manager with a background in yard, agricultural, or similar environments. You'll need strong leadership and communication skills, solid IT competency, and ideally some knowledge of agricultural products and compliance frameworks like AMTRA or BASIS. A proactive, adaptable mindset is essential—you'll deputise for the Store Manager and contribute to broader store leadership while working a rotating five-day week across a 37.5-hour schedule.
Mole Valley Farmers offers a permanent contract with competitive benefits including a matched pension (up to 5%), 33 days annual leave, 25% staff discount, free parking, and clear development opportunities within the business. An Employee Assistance Programme and enhanced family leave policies are also included.
