Job Title: Head Girl / Senior Yard Manager
Location: Coulsdon / Surrey Borders
Hours: 40 hours per week (8.00-5.00)includes 1-hour unpaid lunch)


Accommodation: Live-out position
We are looking for an exceptional, reliable, and deeply passionate Head Girl to take the reins of our beautifully situated livery facility. Managing a total of 33 horses (20 stabled, 13 grass livery), this role requires a true professional who takes immense pride in running a well organised yard, maintaining immaculate yard presentation, and prioritizing high standards of equine welfare.
If you are frustrated by yards with low standards and want a role where your organizational skills and eye for detail are truly valued and respected, we want to hear from you.
What You Will Do:
  • Lead by Example: Oversee the daily yard schedule, leading a small team consisting of one full-time groom and an apprentice.
  • Equine & Field Management: Take daily ownership of the grass livery block (health checks, rugging, water, fencing checks) and oversee the daily care of the 20 stabled horses.
  • Clinical Care: Monitor horse health meticulously, manage individual feeding/rehab plans, administer treatments, and confidently liaise with vets, farriers, and physios.
  • Organization: Keep the yard diary up to date, monitor forage and bedding stock levels, and act as a professional, welcoming point of contact for our clients.
What We Are Looking For:
  • Reliability Above All: Someone punctual, structured, and completely trustworthy who can run the yard seamlessly without micro-management.
  • Genuine Pride in the Job: A professional who sweeps the corners, notices a loose shoe before it falls off, and treats every horse with genuine care.
  • Experience: Minimum 3–5 years in a professional yard environment. BHS Stage 4 (or Senior Yard Manager equivalent) is highly desirable, but exceptional practical experience and a flawless work ethic are essential.
  • Leadership: Confident ability to delegate tasks fairly, mentor our apprentice, and maintain high standards on the yard.
What We Offer:
  • A highly competitive salary of £30,000 gross per year.
  • Fixed, structured working hours (8-5) with no split shifts.
  • Set days off 
  • A supportive, professional employer who values hard work and respects contracted hours.
