Holy Cow!   If you're looking for a job outside, working with young animals then this is the job for you!

You will share a three bedroom fully furnished staff house on farm, so no commute here! It is just under 10 minutes drive to Te Awamutu (the closest town) and 15 minutes drive to Cambridge. Pay is negotiable based on experience, rent is $180 a week which includes power, internet and firewood. You MUST have a work visa, please do not apply if you don't.

Start date 13 July with a minimum commitment of 2 and a half months. It takes a while for us to train you :) Six days on/one day off roster.

We'd love to talk to you if you think this is the job for you…
