We have a position available for a new team member to join us working on a farm near Otorohanga.
We are looking for a farm assistant who will be involved in most aspects of day to day dairy farming. As it is a busy time of year we will not have enough time available to suitably train someone without experience, so we need someone who can hit the ground running, but an environment to learn on the go, working as a vital team member toward the same common goals.
We need someone who is passionate and driven about their job, understand that it can be long, frustrating, and sometimes hard work at times, but also rewarding at the same time. We don't want a passenger.
Duties include safely driving 2 and 4 wheeler motorbikes on rolling to steep terrain, driving a tractor as required for feeding out with a bale feeder or silage wagon, milking cows, measuring and setting up break fences, feeding calves with a mobile feeder, cleaning cowshed, spreading magnesium and calcium on pasture, washing and maintaining vehicles and implements.
We are not accredited employers so cannot provide help with Visas.
Stone Victory Partnership was formed in 2021 as we began variable-order sharemilking at Ngahape, 350 cows
Success has followed with increased production and adaptation of the farm system to achieve industry-consistent in-calf rates and calving spread.
The business has expanded and is now taking on a contract milking position at Kiokio, 590 cows.
The aim is to continue the good work and success with both jobs, hiring a capable manager, a quality 2IC, and great farm assistants.
Our drive is to empower our staff to learn as much as possible from their positions so that when the time comes they are equipped to enter their next position with a wide array of skills and knowledge for ensuring their future success
