The Opportunity**
We’re looking for a Dairy Farm Assistant to join the high-performing team at Wingpoint Dairy Farm. In this role, you’ll assist with a range of farm tasks — from milking, calving, and feeding stock, to effluent management, spraying, and fencing.
You’ll play an important part in the day-to-day operations and work closely with your team to help meet production and animal welfare goals.
You’ll receive full training and support, and we’ll encourage you to take the initiative, develop your skills, and support newer team members along the way. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone with a great work ethic and a passion for farming.

The school bus and lots of recreational activities are close by, and as the farm is bordering Greytown and Martinborough, there are plenty of community events.

- Experience in a similar dairy farming role (or a strong interest in developing one)
