Join Our Positive, High-Performing Dairy Team
Are you looking for a farm role where you’ll be part of a supportive, upbeat team and have the chance to learn and grow every day? We’re seeking someone with dairying or closely related experience to join our on-farm team starting as soon as possible through to at least the end of September — with the potential to stay longer, or move into a permanent role, for the right person.
We’re looking for someone who:

- Pasture and feed allocation
What we offer:
- Competitive pay starting at $25/hour + holiday pay (higher rate for suitable experience)
- Flexible time off – 5 days off every 3 weeks, taken as 1–2 days at a time, so you can enjoy life outside work
- Fully furnished housing with rent deducted from pay (includes Starlink internet and power). A partner can live with you, but work is only available for one person.
- A high-performance, supportive team environment where you’ll gain valuable skills for your career
- Ongoing learning opportunities – we match growth to your drive and ability to learn
Requirements:
- Eligible to work in New Zealand
- Available to start within the next 2 weeks
