Dairy farm hand

Milking and farm duties

1. Cows and all cow things to keep our princesses happy. We milk 620 mixed breeds in a 32-double-up. Must be able to lift 20kg comfortably. Calves: we do a lot of Angus, so fitness is a must.

2. Tractor work only to the right person: Fert, moving the hardline, feeding out, towing out farm bikes (happens a lot; we are a very wet farm)

3. Farm maintenance, fencing, rubberwear, track repairs, tractor servicing.

4. Embrace the fact that all Kiwi farmers are slightly crazy and happy to be a part of a close, swearing, not completely PC environment and be willing to learn (we balance this with fishing, whiskey and BBQs)

5. Flexible start date.

What we offer

1. Shared sea-view furnished accommodation with own bathroom (sorry, not suited to families)

2. Internet and power are covered by a small deduction of $50 a week.

3. Car provided if needed.

4. A supportive family team that offers flexibility in shifts: 5- 2 off.

5. Pay rate depends on the award but will be reviewed once the 90-day staff review is completed.

Conditions: only apply if you can say yes to all.

1. Driver's license P a min.

2. Be a resident of Australia or New Zealand with an idea of the basics (no cows look bigger in person than on TV people).

3. Pass a drug test and police check.

4. English is a must, and the ability to pick up tractor sign language.
