An excellent opportunity for anyone who's interested...
Wanted: A Couple to work on a 5000 acre Farm, Canada – April 1st - November 1st 2016:
Moveover has a wonderful opportunity available for two people to work for one of our long-standing clients based in Maidstone in Saskatchewan, Canada. This niche opportunity is working for a lovely family who have given Moveover candidates the most wonderful experiences for the past four years.
The farm is a 5,000 acre operation, growing wheat, barley, peas and flax. The ideal duo will be an essential part of this family farm during seeding, spraying and combining. One member of the double-act will be a farm assistant, responsible for all general farm work, tractor work, seeding, spraying & combining. Training can be provided. However, a solid farm background is essential and a mechanically minded person would be an advantage. the other partner will be preparing meals to take out to the field, helping with the vegetable garden and maintaining the lawns and upkeep of the house. The domestic role could involve farm duties if desired.
This is the ideal partnership opportunity which includes a very competitive salary, fully renovated house to live in which is situated in Maidstone, just one mile from the farm and a vehicle is also provided as part of the package.
Interviews are open now: please send your CV to [email protected] & call the office on: 01386 812316 please quote "Bullock"
