POSITIONS VACANT  

Sometimes at Myella we are looking for cleaners and painters; however at present we have no work at Myella.

Many people ask for a “Dream Job with horses” and I don’t know anyone who would offer this type of work.  From my experience it takes too long to explain what is happening with cattle work and it’ just too dangerous and you really aren’t much help to be honest.

If you are prepared to do simple behind the scenes jobs then send answers the below questions and I will forward them to farmers I know in our area. 

These property owners mostly graze cattle on grass and a few grow crops; they do not have staff and are use to working on their own. 

FARM MAINTANCE

  • Fix broken door catches – carpenter skills

  • Service vehicles – mechanical skills

  • Remove old barbed wire fences 

  • Mow lawn with ride on – mechanical skills to fix what you break

HOUSE KEEPING

  • Wash windows/walls/vehicles

  • Mop and dust the house 

  • Detail clean kitchen cupboards and fridges

  • Prune garden plants and weed the garden

You could help by doing these jobs while the farmers gets on with their jobs.    

1. List your practical working skills i.e. I have skills as I am a mechanic, carpenter, cook, 
    cleaner or gardener

2. The minimum wage you will accept or if you want to work for meals and accommodation and the hours you expect to work each day

3. If you have your own transport and can drive legally in Australia.

4. The length of time you are available to work and when you could be ready to commence

5. The amount of spoken English/Australian you understand

6. List any special dietary or medical conditions that you have
