About this job

– Helping bring parts of the farm back up to standard
– General farm maintenance and outdoor work

It’s casual, around 3 days a week, Monday to Friday. Hours can swing between 2 and 4 days depending on weather, harvest timing, and farm priorities. Pay is $32 to $35 per hour plus super, based on experience.

**What we want:**
– Reliable, turns up when agreed
– Physically fit and happy with outdoor work
– Practical, positive, follows instructions
– Easy to work with in a small team

Farm, landscaping, gardening, machinery, or labouring experience is a plus, but not essential for the right person. You’ll need your own reliable transport, there’s no public transport out here.
