Supporting every great extension event is an amazing organiser, excellent communicator, herder of cats and administrator extraordinaire…You’re the backbone for success and the home for improvement and innovation ideas that means our events just keep getting better and better.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand is investing heavily in their extension programme that delivers events which support learning and skills development for our farmer stakeholders. And this includes investing in a new Extension Coordinator position based in our Eastern North Island region and working from our Havelock North office.
You’ll be joining a team of professional Extension Coordinators, Extension Managers and Regional Extension Managers based across New Zealand, collaborating and helping to deliver quality events. With a focus on devising and enacting consistent pre and post event processes, supporting events ‘on-the-day’ and keeping our records and information accurate and up to date, this role is critical in our quest to support farmers to make positive changes in and for their businesses.

So much the better if you’re familiar with New Zealand’s rural sector and have worked in a rural-facing environment before.
You’ll also know that a good event or programme of events doesn’t stop when the event is done …. you’ll be a finisher who’s up for the post-event data collection, analysis, dissection and identification of next steps. You’ll be comfortable on the phone, will like to get the details ‘nailed down’ and won’t be shy with follow-up and follow-through. Most of all, you’ll be that magic combination of relatable, organised and professional.
