Stockperson (Rearing)

As Stockperson (Rearing) you will be working on a farm in Waikouaiti where the health and wellbeing of the livestock is of utmost importance.

You will be directly looking after and handling newly hatched chicks from a day old to 16 weeks in a commercial operation. You will also participate in overseeing general machinery maintenance, so an interest in machinery/fixing things is also desirable.
