Agriculture across the region

Herefordshire and Worcestershire are known for apples, pears, soft fruit and hops, along with potatoes and field vegetables, which makes them a strong area for growing and harvest management roles. The Vale of Evesham has a long history of market gardening and fresh produce.

To the north, Shropshire and Staffordshire have many dairy herds alongside cereals and mixed farming. The region's central position also suits machinery dealers, feed suppliers and food processors with customers across England and Wales.

Commuting and choosing a base

Road links via the M5, M6 and M54 make it possible to live in a market town and travel out to a farm or depot, though the lanes of Herefordshire and south Shropshire add time to any journey. Shrewsbury, Hereford, Ludlow and Stafford are all practical bases for rural work.

Where housing comes with a role, the listing will say so. If you are moving into the area, mention your plans and likely start date when you apply.
