Dairy Farm Assistant - ADRDS x 2

Learn valuable skills and fast track your career working at our Springston dairy farm. 

Mō te tūka | The role

We are seeking applications for a Farm Assistant to work out our Springston based dairy farm.

The Ashley Dean Research and Development Station is a 470-cow farm located in Springston based on roughly 200 hectares. The farm operates a 54-bale rotary shed and is irrigated by two pivots and a lateral irrigator. Calving happens once per year in spring.

This is not your ordinary farm role.  We value work/life balance in a teaching environment - you will be working an average of 45 hours per week, paid on a salary basis.

Work with state-of-the-art machinery and gain valuable skills working with experienced farm managers who are passionate about staff development and wellbeing.

Day to day tasks will vary but likely will be a mixture of:

• Milking
• Checking cows for mastitis and other issues
• Shed hygiene
• Shifting irrigation sprinklers
• Effluent management
• Feeding out
• Weed management

This is a permanent, full-time role working an average of 45 hours per week on a 5/2 roster based at Ashley Dene Research and Development Station in Springston. 

This role offers a total remuneration package of $70,000 - $75,000 per annum, depending on experience (made up of base salary + accommodation allowance + clothing allowance of $520/year). On-farm accommodation is NOT provided with this position.

Kā tino Pūkeka/Whēako | Essential skills/experience for the role

To be successful in this role you will need:

• Keen to learn - attitude is the number one priority for us.
• Great at following procedures.
• Are physically fit - this is an active role.
