Job Description

We’re looking for a keen and reliable 2IC to join our 150-cow dairy farm on the West Coast.

We are a young family running a simple, tidy and well-organised farm, milking through a modernised 22-aside plant with HALTER technology.

This role is mainly focused around milking and caring for the animals, so we’re looking for someone who has good attention to detail and takes pride in animal health and welfare.

This could suit a keen young person looking to step into the dairy industry and wanting the opportunity to learn, take responsibility and build their skills.

What we’re looking for:

  • Good animal husbandry skills
  • Preferably some milking experience, but not essential
  • Good attention to detail around cows
  • Fencing skills
  • Weed control
  • Reliable and willing to get stuck in
  • Able to work independently and as part of a small team
  • A genuine interest in farming and animal care

We offer a supportive environment where you’ll be part of a small team and have the opportunity to take responsibility and develop your skills.

If you’re keen, practical and enjoy working with animals, we’d love to hear from you!
