A Poultry Worker supports the management of poultry farming sites or operational agriculture (hatchery) units. They oversee the birds’ development at different stages of their life, primarily through maintaining accommodation, preparing and monitoring the environment, and maintaining the necessary health and welfare requirements. This is practical work involving a combination of technology and manual labour, and the role requires compassion, self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as a team player.
