Yard Team Member

Mole Valley Farmers is looking for a hands-on Yard Team Member to join its Yeovil team. This part-time, onsite role sits within the yard and feedstore operation and is a good fit for someone who enjoys practical work, helping customers, and keeping outdoor areas tidy. The company has a long-standing presence in rural retail and operates yards and feedstores where teamwork matters for smooth daily operations.

As part of the yard crew, you’ll split your week between stock handling, customer service at the counter and around the yard, and keeping external spaces in good order. You’ll work closely with the Stock Supervisor and the broader team to help ensure efficient operations and a welcoming experience for visitors and members alike. The role is structured for 16 hours per week across two days out of seven, with a focus on consistency and quality in every shift.

Expect to handle stock receivement, checks, and loading tasks with accuracy, while lending support at the point of sale when needed. Maintaining a high standard of presentation in the external areas and contributing to stock reviews and stocktakes are key parts of the job, along with following health and safety procedures and UFAS regulations to keep everyone safe.

Collaborating with the Stock Supervisor and the rest of the team, you’ll help investigate stock discrepancies and support ongoing stock control processes. It’s a role that blends practical, on‑the‑ground work with a focus on service quality, so clear communication and a strong eye for detail help you succeed day to day.

These are the attributes and experiences that help you fit in quickly and perform well in this environment.

• Experience in a yard, warehouse, or retail setting, showing you can handle stock and assist customers
• A basic comfort level with IT systems and the ability to use them to manage stock and records
• Good communication skills and the ability to engage with customers and teammates
• Attention to detail with the discipline to follow established processes
• Ability to work under pressure and juggle multiple tasks during busy periods
• Awareness of data protection / GDPR and health and safety standards
• A friendly, self-motivated, adaptable mindset and a team-focused approach to delivering high-quality service

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with agricultural or countryside settings
• A forklift truck licence would be advantageous

Pay, benefits and practical details

The role pays £10.85 - £12.71 per hour. For a part-time schedule of 16 hours per week across two days out of seven, the role is listed with an annualised range of £20,000 to £24,000 per year. The position is based on-site in Yeovil.

The company offers a range of benefits, including a Scottish Widows contributory pension with a company match up to 5%, a store discount of up to 25%, and free on-site parking.

Tips to help you stand out

Show how you prove you’ve got the must-have skills by including examples of accurate stock handling, successful use of IT systems, and your ability to follow safety procedures and data protection rules in past roles.

Prepare for questions about how you manage competing tasks and stay organized during busy periods, and be ready to discuss how you’ve supported stock control and safe operations in previous jobs.
