Simple System Ltd is a horse feed company dedicated to bringing you the very best forage feed diet for your horses.

We are looking for a creative and skilled marketing whizz to join our team in early April on a 12-month maternity cover basis. Ideally, we are looking for someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about horses, with a keen interest in forage feeding, to lead the way in promoting the benefits of our feeding system.

We are a small, close-knit team looking for someone friendly to join us. This is a full-time role for 12-months based at our Head Office outside of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Note that whilst we would prefer this to be a full-time role, we are a flexible company and so are happy to hear from potential part-time applicants.
