AddressThornby doesn’t fit the ‘traditional’ mould of a mixed farming enterprise, although that’s where our roots are deeply entrenched. Instead, we’re focused on producing a high-quality lamb and grain product that contributes to feeding the world for generations to come.
Our family have been farming the land at Sanderston, where South Australia’s beautiful Adelaide Hills meet the picturesque Barossa Valley, and that’s where you’ll find our accredited lamb feedlot and home of our broadacre cropping and firewood processing businesses. It’s also where you’ll find most of our team, ranging from mechanics and farm operations assistants through to feedlot operators, shearers and woodchoppers.
We’re passionate about providing employment opportunities for rural people and we’re on the hunt for a new team member to join our well-oiled administration machine!
What’s the role?
Our part-time (3 days per week) admin role is based at our on-farm office and will involve a variety of administrative tasks, including:
- Taking charge of our mass management obligations associated with our trucks, using our established procedures and systems
- Reconciliation of expenses and accounts using Xero
- Managing our insurance requirements and register of assets
- Ensuring vehicle registrations are current and recorded appropriately
- Involvement in our accounts payable process
- Data entry for various processes and procedures relating to our machines, animals and general operations
- Providing a friendly and warm first impression of Thornby to our visitors and callers
- Handling emails and ensuring appropriate communication throughout the business.
Who are you?
We’re not looking for someone with loads of experience in a farm office environment. Instead, we’d like you to have an effortlessly friendly and welcoming personality where no task is too much trouble. We’d love for you to have a knack for navigating Microsoft Excel and a laser focus on accurate data entry. As a key member of our part-time admin team, we’ll also need you to be able to work well with our team and have top-notch communication skills to ensure no detail in our busy office is missed.
