Then we would love to hear from you!

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic farm assistant to join our Lakeview team.

This is an exciting role that covers all aspects of farming from milking, fencing, calf rearing and other general farm duties. While some experience is preferred, a good attitude and willingness to learn is just as important as full training can be provided.

  • Be physically fit, enjoy getting up early and working outdoors
  • Respectful with good communication skills 
  • Desire to learn and develop
  • Someone who works well in a team and with animals 

What you will get from us:

  • Competitive remuneration package - negotiable depending on experience.

  • 6:2 Roster all year.
  • Exposure to the wider Theland Farm Group including access to training opportunities and future promotions.
  • Scope to grow and develop your skills on farm with a supportive operations team.
  • Staff benefit package to enjoy group discounts.

We are unashamedly a drug and alcohol-free workplace, so you will need to pass a pre-employment drug test and hold a clean drivers’ license.

If this sounds like the challenge for you, apply today, or txt Jasper the Farm manager on 0278069762 for a confidential chat to find out more.

Be sure to include in your cover letter, what sets you apart, what attracted you to apply for this position, and some of your proudest achievements to date.
