Job Description
Raspberry and blueberry Pickers Wanted in Coffs Harbour, NSW!
We’re looking for raspberry and blueberry pickers to join us in the beautiful Coffs Harbour area!
Friends and couples are welcome to apply. Since the picking season has already started, priority will be given to those who can start immediately.
This job counts toward the 2nd and 3rd-year Working Holiday Visa days!
I personally worked here and successfully applied for my second-year visa. Plus, since raspberries are picked under cover, you can work rain or shine and gather payslips quickly.
? Location
•Around Coffs Harbour (the exact farm may vary depending on harvest conditions).
? Job Details
•Picking & Packing Raspberries
•You’ll be given a small bucket to pick raspberries and pack them yourself after picking.
It’s not a difficult task!
•The farm is covered, so you can work even on rainy days.
•Minimum 5 days a week, and up to 7 days during the peak season.
•You can also request days off in advance if needed!
? Pay
• .6 to 1.2 per punnet (piece rate, not hourly pay).
•The rate per punnet depends on the market price and season.
•The more you pick, the more you earn!
(Example: If you pick 250 punnets in one day and the rate is .8 per punnet, you’ll earn 250 x .8 = 200 for that day.)
•Payments are made weekly on Fridays or Saturdays.
? Accommodation
We’ve got shared accommodation available, so you don’t have to worry about finding a place!
•Couples rooms are also available (limited availability)
•Weekly rent: 170–180 per person (including bills and Wi-Fi)
•Bond: 2 weeks rent (fully refundable with 2 weeks notice before moving out)
•If you’d like to see photos of the house, let me know, and I’ll send them!
The accommodation is close to the beach and located in a town that’s not too busy but not too rural either.
It’s a great place to relax after work!
You can enjoy fishing and surfing—many of my friends here surf after work or on their days off.
There are also supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, gyms, and everything you need nearby!
? Transport
•If you don’t have a car, we provide transport!
•10 per trip to cover transportation costs.
•If you have your own car, you can earn extra by driving others. ?
