We’re Hiring!

We're Hiring

Living Rural is a business based in the heart of Pauatahanui Village which was established in February 2023. We specialise in farm supplies, animal feed and rural needs.

Our growth over the past 18 months has exceeded our expectations. We find ourselves in the position of needing to start the search for another team member to join the fun, friendly Living Rural team to help us continue to deliver the very best in customer care/service, advice, and knowledge in our increasingly busy environment.

We are searching for someone with the following availability, however some flexibility does exist with start and finish times, as does the possibility for a “job share” scenario. Whilst Saturday is a core day, we can be flexible some weekends.

  • Monday 8.30-3.30
  • Thursday – 8.30-5.30
  • Friday – 8.30-5.00
  • Saturday – 8.30-4.00

This is a very physical job. On any given day we might receive 2-12 ton (2-12 pallets) of feed and products. The successful candidate must be capable of lifting 20kg on a fairly constant basis throughout the day, with some days busier than others in this area.

We are looking for someone who is mature, reliable, honest and able to be self motivated and work unsupervised. Ideally you will have either farm or equine experience and knowledge.

We are a close knit team with a fantastic relaxed vibe. A sense of humour is a must! The position would be available for immediate start, or happy to negotiate alternate start date based on your current commitments.

If you feel that you would like to be part of our awesome team, and work for a business that is growing and progressing, please send us your CV to info@livingrural.nz or you can also drop it into the store in person.
