Vitacress Salads | Mullens Farm, Wiltshire

Do you want to play a vital role in growing fresh, healthy food that reaches millions of tables? At Vitacress Salads, we’re proud to nurture the future of farming — and you can be part of it.

As our Sprayer Operator, you will take responsibility for the accurate and timely application of fertilisers and crop protection products to our salad and herb crops. You will keep our records precise, ensure our stores are safe and audit‑ready, and maintain equipment so it’s always in top condition. You will also step into wider farm tasks — from groundwork and crop netting to mowing and mechanical weeding — making sure our fields thrive.

You will bring innovation to the role by researching and trialling new spraying technologies, helping us stay ahead in sustainable farming. You will communicate openly with the Farm Foreman, spotting and solving issues before they affect crop quality. You will uphold health and safety standards, protect the environment, and ensure compliance at every step.

This is a hands‑on role where your attention to detail, flexibility, and teamwork will make a real difference. With PA1 and PA2 qualifications essential (PA4S, PA6 and NRoSO registration ideal), you will use your skills to support a pioneering farming business that values honesty, rigour, and innovation.

🌱 Ready to grow your career with us? Apply today and help shape the future of fresh food at Vitacress Salads.
