Description

Competitive hourly rate Great location – within 15mins of either Levin/Foxton/Shannon Drive-in/Drive-out position Join our supportive team across the Moutoa Complex THE OPPORTUNITY If you’re keen to get into farming, return to farming, or pick up casual work that fits around the rest of your life, this could be a great opportunity. As a Casual Farm Assistant, you’ll help the team when extra support is needed, such as when people are away or during busier times on farm. The work is varied, practical, and hands-on. Depending on the day, you could be helping with milking, calf-rearing, fencing, weed control, and other general farm duties. You don’t need to know everything already. You’ll be working alongside an experienced team who can show you how things are done and help you build confidence on farm. What matters most is that you are reliable, willing to learn, and comfortable working as part of a team. At Pāmu, safety and wellbeing are important. You’ll have access to well-maintained equipment and clear health and safety practices, so you can feel supported while you work. This is a drive-in/drive-out role, so you’ll need reliable transport to get to and from the farm. ABOUT YOU You’ll enjoy practical work, being outdoors, and being part of a team where people help each other out. You may already have some dairy experience, or you may be looking for a chance to build your skills in a supportive farm environment. Ideally, you’ll bring: • Some dairy farming experience, or a genuine interest in learning • Care for animals and a commitment to doing things safely • A positive, reliable approach and willingness to help where needed • Good attention to detail and confidence to ask questions when you’re unsure • A restricted or full driver’s licence We’re proud to have a supportive and inclusive culture at Pāmu. If this role sounds like a good fit for you, but you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply. THE PĀMU FARMS The Pāmu Moutoa complex is made up of seven dairy farms, milking around 4200 cows. Some of the farms are fully certified organic, while others are moving towards organic certification. It’s a busy and interesting place to work, with plenty to learn across different farming systems. BENEFITS You’ll be part of a supportive team where you can learn from others, build your confidence, and gain hands-on dairy farming experience. We offer a competitive hourly rate, well-maintained equipment, and a workplace where safety and wellbeing are taken seriously.
