Do you want to experience New Zealand while you earn?
Being a Shearer or Woolhandler at Mackshearing is the perfect way to earn money while getting the opportunity to explore beautiful New Zealand.
We are hiring both Shearers and Woolhandlers for 2024/2025.
-
Shearers: Experience required – if you can shear 200 sheep a day then we're looking for you.

New Zealand's main shear compliments the Northern Hemisphere perfectly as it's during NZ Summer from November – April. The perfect time to experience New Zealand, get away from Winter in the UK.

WHY NEW ZEALAND?
Few spots in the world rival New Zealand for spectacular natural beauty, peace and quiet, and unique adventures. Beyond the country's serene landscapes, though, you'll find delicious dining and friendly folks.
We're based in central North Island in Taumarunui and Taihape, so a great location to be based for exploring all that New Zealand has to offer.
Check out below some of the amazing experiences you'll have close by as a Shearer at MackShearing.

All these adventures are right here in our own back yard.
