THE OPPORTUNITY

Join our team on the Weka Complex as a Calf Rearer and play a key role in rearing our next generation of dairy heifers and dairy beef cattle.

You’ll be responsible for caring for young calves, feeding, weighing, drafting, drenching, and monitoring their health and welfare.  You may also assist with general farm duties when required.

These are drive in/drive out roles, so reliable transport is required.

THE FARM

The Weka Complex is a group of neighbouring farms. While you’ll be employed on one specific farm, there may be opportunities to support across the wider complex when needed.

You’ll be part of a farm team that works together and supports one another. This is a coordinated operation where communication is strong and shared standards matter.

Working within the complex gives you the chance to build relationships with multiple teams, strengthen your leadership skills, and gain experience that supports future career progression.

With a mix of roles available, we need some people with experience, and this is also for people with no prior experience - training is provided.  

If you’re someone who takes pride in doing the job right and has a real care for animals, loves working outdoors, then we want to hear from you.

• You have an exceptional attitude to health and safety and animal welfare
