Stockman/Shepherd

Are you looking for a change? Do you want to work in a place like New Zealand but not New Zealand? How about Tasmania?  

We are looking for a motivated individual with a love of livestock to join the team at Nosswick. A property where the fences are tight, the gear is looked after, equipment is washed down and put away, the stock are healthy and the staff are happy.

We run 5000 breeding ewes across two properties and finish approx. 15,000 lambs under center pivot irrigation. Situated 35 minutes from Launceston, 20 minutes from Longford we are close to services, community activities and sporting clubs. Local accommodation (single/couple quarters) can be provided. The position has a strong sheep focus, owning well controlled working dogs is extremely desirable.

Ideally the applicant will have sheep experience however we hire on attitude and a willingness to learn. The successful applicant will:

·        Be capable of planning and managing daily tasks

·        Work independently or in a team environment

·        Have a desire for ongoing training, skills development, and career progression.

·        Contribute positively to a team culture
