What's in it for you

Milk or meat rations

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any animal health course certificates, references from previous farms plus certified identity document.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Richards Bay.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Stress reliability. Explain that you understand milking or feeding cannot be skipped.
Say which animals you have worked with and for how long. Farmers want someone who already knows the routine.
