Poultry Farm Manager

Valley Park Farm is a locally owned Victorian business. Our first farm was established in the heart of one of Australia’s most productive farming lands, the Goulburn Valley. Our three original sites are bordered by the Goulburn River on one side and Great Dividing Range on the other.

Expansion in 2012 saw the addition of a farm nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Strathbogie Ranges. An abundant fresh water natural spring carries life and nourishment to our free-range hens, where our farm began free range egg production in 2013.

Are you a leader who will work in the sheds, with the livestock, checking the checker & lead the team?

Do you have poultry livestock skills, mechanical skills and good people skills?

Can you manage your own time and the time of your people?

Are you able to achieve results, take pride from those results and dedicate yourself as if the farm was your own?

Recent and extensive poultry experience is essential.
