The Role We are seeking a dedicated, honest, and highly capable Senior Farm Hand to serve as the key boots-on-the-ground presence across a newly acquired 1,800-acre pastoral block situated just 30 minutes outside of Albury near Lake Hume. You will be responsible for developing and implementing infrastructure and pastures under the guidance of the owner over the coming future.
In this pivotal, autonomous role, you will manage day-to-day livestock routines involving:

- Sheep: 2,500 Merino ewes joined to White Suffolk rams.
- Cattle: 100 Angus cows and calves (split calving)
- Handling & Mustering: Side-by-sides are used for mustering, supported by working dogs.

Operating as the primary eyes and ears in office, you will work in direct partnership with supportive and hands-on business owners based in Finley (home to their established Wattle Park White Suffolk stud and cropping enterprise). Occasionally, travel between both properties will be required.
While contractors are engaged for major operations like shearing and lamb marking, your primary responsibilities include:

- Fencing, general property maintenance, and spraying.
- Infrastructure upgrades, including the upcoming construction of a new set of sheep yards.

The Employer Our client is a growing family agricultural business with a diverse portfolio spanning prime irrigated cropping, stud stock production, and commercial livestock enterprises across regional New South Wales, with the home block located at Finley.
The business takes immense pride in offering an exceptionally stable, respectful, and supportive working environment, demonstrated by a long-standing track record of staff retention. Having recently expanded operations near Lake Hume, the owners are committed to investing in both the land and their people.




The Offer A competitive remuneration package will be offered, tailored to reflect the successful candidate's level of experience and livestock expertise. In addition to financial compensation, the role provides an exceptional lifestyle package, including a beautiful, spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom homestead with both gas and wood heating, established gardens, and an electricity allowance. A dedicated work vehicle for all farm-related duties, a side-by-side buggy and regular meat rations are also included in the package.
Situated just 30 minutes from Albury, the property offers full access to quality regional schooling, healthcare, shopping, and outdoor recreational lifestyle pursuits around Lake Hume.
The Ideal Candidate Above all else, uncompromising honesty and reliability are the most critical qualities for this role. We encourage applications from candidates of all ages, and mature candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.

- Livestock & Dog Capability: Proven stock sense across both sheep and cattle, with working dogs capable of efficient stock movements.
- Maintenance Skills: Competent with practical farm tasks, including fencing, basic equipment maintenance, and weed spraying.
- Autonomy & Integrity: Self-motivated mindset to carry out daily tasks without constant direct supervision, maintaining clear, honest communication with off-site owners.
