This role involves managing your own regional customer base within the agricultural feeds sector, while studying towards a Level 6 B2B Sales Professional Degree — fully funded, with no tuition fees or student debt.

- Balancing academic study with practical work commitments
- Attending industry events and training sessions
- Keeping up to date with market trends and identifying business opportunities

- Prior business-to-business sales experience (any sector) is essential
- A Level 3 qualification (e.g., A-levels or equivalent)
- GCSE English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships
- Self-motivated and able to work independently
- Willing and able to commit to a three-year degree apprenticeship
- Comfortable with regular travel and overnight stays
- Agricultural knowledge or field-based sales exposure is desirable but not essential
What’s In It For You
- A fully funded Level 6 B2B Sales Degree
- Full-time paid role while you study part-time
- Competitive salary of £28,000 plus company car and benefits
- Valuable field-based experience in a fast-paced commercial environment
Key Considerations
- You will need to balance university-level coursework alongside full-time responsibilities
- You must meet the entry criteria for the degree programme
- A genuine interest in both the agricultural sector and the apprenticeship route is essential
