Opportunity in Tasmania’s Thriving Agriculture Scene
Tasmania is not just an island of breathtaking landscapes but also a powerhouse of agricultural productivity, second only to mining in its economic contributions. At Left Field, we specialise exclusively in the horticultural sector, understanding the nuances and specific needs of this vital industry. Our deep roots in Tasmania, combined with our robust networks across partner farms, equip us to expertly manage any agricultural staffing requirement.
What Our Partner Farms Value in a Worker
1. Reliability In the world of farming, every day counts. Our partner farms treasure workers who are dependable and punctual. Reliable workers help maintain the flow of operations and ensure that agricultural tasks are completed within the needed timelines.
2. Experience Hands-on experience in farming techniques and knowledge of agricultural tools enhance a worker’s ability to contribute effectively from day one. However, at Left Field, we also welcome enthusiastic learners and provide training to develop the required skills.
3. Adaptability Each farm has its unique rhythm and demands, influenced by crop, climate, and culture. Workers who swiftly adapt to different farm settings, changing weather conditions, and varied operational scales are highly valued.
4. Cultural Fit Embracing both Left Field’s and the farm’s values, integrating with the team, and contributing to a positive work environment are critical. We’re looking for those who resonate with the communal spirit and work ethics of our unique Left Field culture across our Tasmanian partner farms.
5. Willingness to Develop Skills The agricultural sector is dynamic, with continuous advancements in farming practices and technologies. A proactive attitude towards learning and personal growth is essential, ensuring workers evolve with the industry.
Supporting Local Talent and Welcoming Global Adventurers
With over half of our workforce composed of locals from surrounding Tasmanian towns, Left Field champions the ‘local first’ approach to employment. Yet, as the demand for skilled agricultural workers rises, we also embrace the vibrant energy of travelling backpackers. Whether you’re funding an adventure or aiming to extend your Working Holiday Visa, we offer opportunities that allow you to contribute meaningfully while exploring the beauty of Tasmania.

Our office in Devonport serves as a hub for nurturing local talent and leveraging our strong community ties, all while maintaining a pulse on the global needs of the agriculture sector.
