Ready for a change of scenery? Swap the hustle and bustle of city life for the wide-open spaces of Griffith, NSW. Pace Farm is seeking a motivated, hands-on Trainee Assistant Farm Manager who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their boots dirty. You'll join a dedicated team committed to the health and welfare of our birds.
This is an exciting opportunity to launch your career in poultry farming. In this full-time role, you'll work closely with an experienced Farm Manager, gaining a thorough understanding of the farm's day-to-day operations. You'll receive practical exposure to people leadership and poultry management while building the skills needed to progress into future management roles at Pace Farm. The position is designed to establish a strong foundation in farm leadership, with clear development pathways and long-term career opportunities.
This role goes beyond learning the basics of farm management — it's about getting involved. You'll be expected to perform the same duties as our Farm Hands, from caring for the birds to maintaining sheds, playing an active role in keeping the farm running smoothly.
What You'll Do
* Assist the team in maintaining the health and welfare of the birds by ensuring adequate feed and water, including cleaning and maintaining sheds.

Previous poultry experience isn't essential, but it would be an advantage. Most importantly, you have a strong work ethic, a commitment to safety, and a positive, can-do mindset. Ready to make an impact? We're ready to meet you!
What You'll Need
* Proactive, eager to learn, keen attitude.
* Some prior experience of supervising or coaching a team would be desirable.
* A recent agricultural qualification or a strong interest in farming would be an advantage.
* General maintenance skills are a plus!
* Excellent time management and organisational abilities.
