📦 We're Hiring – Part-Time Warehouse & Customer Service Assistant 🐔

We’re on the lookout for a reliable, practical local to join our small team here in Garbutt. This hands-on role includes assembling products, packing orders, and helping customers in-store.

It’s part-time (20 hours/week across Mon, Wed & Fri), with above-award pay and real long-term potential for the right person.

If you’ve got good common sense, show up on time, and don’t mind a bit of physical work, we’d love to hear from you. Bonus points if you know a thing or two about backyard chickens — but if not, we’ll teach you.

🛠 What’s Involved:

Assembling products using basic hand tools (screwdrivers, cordless drills, etc.)

Packing orders with a high level of attention to detail

Helping walk-in customers with product enquiries

Preparing items for shipping via Australia Post and couriers

General warehouse duties, including vacuuming and tidying

Weekly cleaning of the staffroom and bathroom

Keeping the workspace organised and safe

🧠 What We’re Looking For:

Someone reliable, hands-on, and takes pride in doing the job properly

Able to work independently and as part of a small team

Comfortable in a physical, active role (lifting up to 20kg)

A confident communicator with a friendly, helpful attitude

Some knowledge of backyard chickens is a bonus, but not essential — we’ll provide full training

Forklift licence preferred, but not required (training may be offered after probation)

📋 The Details:

Part-time: 20 hours per week

Shifts: Monday & Wednesday 7:30am–3:00pm, Friday 7:30am–12:30pm

Location: Garbutt, Townsville

Pay: Above award rates

Probation: 3 months with potential for training and role growth

👥 Who This Suits:

This role is ideal for someone looking for consistent, long-term part-time work.
Retirees or semi-retirees who are still physically active are very welcome to apply — we’ve had great success with team members who bring old-school reliability, practical skills, and a no-fuss attitude.

📩 Interested?
Send us a message or drop your details below. You’re also welcome to stop by our Garbutt warehouse and introduce yourself.
