A passionate, energetic and experienced gamekeeper is required to lead the pheasant and partridge shooting on the Swinton Estate.

This is a long-established shoot which is run in conjunction with the adjacent grouse moor. The intention is to shoot about two days a week throughout the season. Much of the infrastructure is in place although there is a clear opportunity to progress and develop the shoot further utilizing the mix of woodland, game crops and natural cover to present birds as well as trying new ideas. Birds are sourced as poults. There are a mix of days between those enjoyed by the principals and their friends and let days.
