Dairy Milker (Rotary Parlour)

You'll feed, milk and care for animals on a sheep farm near Bloemfontein, every day of the year. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Bloemfontein. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
