Other duties as required by the Farm Manager
As you'd expect, this is a hands-on role first and foremost. However, there is an element of self-leadership involved too, so you'll need to take responsibility, show initiative and interact well with people.

Ability to operate machinery and equipment competently and safely
A solid work ethic
Good self and time management
Task focus and diligence
Flexibility in moving from task to task easily




Reasonable reading, writing and numeracy skills
A calm, positive attitude, and willingness to get in and do the job efficiently and effectively

If you like a truly rural lifestyle, with all the space and peace of the Australia that most people rarely see, this is the place for it.
As for confidence and job satisfaction, you'll be shown how to do things you are not experienced in, but you won't be micromanaged - Mike is highly experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of operating a successful farm, will give you every chance to take ownership and feel a real sense of pride in your achievements.
