Slaughterman / Boner – Mon–Fri, 7am–3:30pm – No Shift Work

The Local Meat Co - Claude Road, near Sheffield TAS We’re a small, locally owned meat processing business looking for an experienced slaughterman to join our crew.

We’re not a big processing plant and we don’t work production-line stations. Our guys work across the whole animal and across different parts of the job.

We need someone who can confidently slaughter both cattle and sheep and work across the full slaughter process, not someone whose experience is limited to one station or one small part of a production line.

The job
Monday to Friday
7:00am – 3:30pm
No night shift
No rotating shifts
No weekend work
Cattle and sheep
Whole-animal slaughter and processing
Small, experienced local team

There will also be boning work. Boning experience is preferred, but isn’t essential if you’re a capable slaughterman and willing to develop those skills. A Meat Safety Inspector qualification would also be a big advantage, but isn’t essential.





We work hard and it can be quick-paced, but we’re an easy-going crew and have a good time while we get the job done.

What matters most to us is reliability, initiative and attitude. We want someone who turns up, knows their trade, gets stuck in and is happy to help wherever needed.

Pay will be above award rates and reflect experience and ability. Just as importantly, the role offers consistent daytime hours and a genuine work-life balance; you know when you start, when you finish, and your evenings and weekends are your own.

Applicants must already be based in Australia and have current Australian work rights. We are not offering overseas recruitment, relocation or visa sponsorship for this position.

Excellent English communication is significant for workplace safety, animal handling and working effectively within a small team.

We're open to Part time work for the right candidate.
