Careers at Leadenham Polo Club
Current Vacancies
GROOM - Part time
Due to our busy schedule, we are looking for another groom to join our growing team!
The role offers a fantastic opportunity to work with amazing horses in a beautiful environment. Polo experience is not essential (but advantageous) but yard experience is essential. You must be a competent rider and confident working with all horses, and most importantly you must be reliable, hardworking, with a high attention to detail. We are a small team, so the desire to get stuck in is essential to the success of the club. Experience in working with young horses would also be advantageous.
A certain level of flexibility is required, as you will need to work around both the horses and businesses needs.
In return for your hard work, we offer the following:
- A competitive salary paid weekly
- Paid Holiday
- Year round vacancy for the right person.
- accommodation can be discussed
