Hello! I am looking for a dairy farm worker starting July 2025. The farm is located in Maungatautari, Waikato, NZ. Accommodation is provided. There is only work available for 1 person. Work Hours: * The workload in dairy farming varies a lot depending on the time of year. at the start of calving things are quieter, but by the end we are very busy. * 80 hours a fortnight are guaranteed, with these hours worked over 8 - 9 days. * A typical work day will be 8-10 hours, depending on the time of the year. * At times more work may be available, but this is not guaranteed. * Start times are typically around 5am or later, and finish times are typically around 5.30pm or earlier, with a break of several hours taken at midday. However, if things go wrong on the farm these times can be affected. Requirements: * Dairy farming is hard physical work and previous agricultural experience, or a suitable level of physical fitness would be beneficial. * Dairy farming experience is not required but would be beneficial. * You must be able to ride a 2 wheeled motorbike. * You must have a working holiday visa or be legally entitled to work in new zealand. * Someone who is looking for 4-6 months of work would be optimal. * You must be able to speak basic english * Farming can be isolating: you must be comfortable living alone, away from the city. * It would be a good idea to have your own vehicle so you are not trapped on the farm. Look forward to hearing from you. Ben
