Churchfields requires a vibrant, outgoing person to play a pivotal role in the smooth running of our farm and fun farm operations. This person will be able to help us deliver a memorable customer experience to each guest by working at the forefront of our farm and events team.

You must be comfortable in front of an audience and be flexible with an outgoing, cheerful disposition and the ability to "muck in" as part of a small team is essential. Also, a friendly happy person, willing to help other team members as well as visitors and be able to work in an unsupervised environment as well as supervising younger team members at various times.
