    Help

    Hi, I manage a dairy farm in the Bay of Plenty. Work varies from help milking in the cowshed (this is most likely weekend work to give my staff time off), gardening, outside house cleaning, mowing lawns and feeding chickens. We also have a small kiwifruit block that needs work of pruning plant and general maintenance . Work varies during the seasons. PART-TIME work so around 20 hours a week this gives you time to stay and look around the great areas of the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and Waikato. Minimum NZ wage of $22.70.
