About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s really like to spend your days surrounded by animals, out in the open air, making a living with your hands? We’re looking for hard-working, reliable individuals to join our animal farm team in Al Ain (Nahel Road, Bidaa Bint Saud, Exit 25). This isn’t your typical nine-to-five — it’s an opportunity to be part of a close-knit crew where every day brings something new, and where your effort truly matters. If you’re someone who finds satisfaction in a job well done and you enjoy working with animals, this could be the right fit for you.
About the Company
Our farm isn’t just a workplace — it’s a living, breathing community. Nestled along Nahel Road, we pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere where respect, teamwork, and responsibility are more than just words. The team here comes from all walks of life, but we’re united by a shared love for animals and the outdoors. Our days can be long, but there’s a genuine sense of camaraderie (you’ll see it during our shared breaks and the way folks pitch in for each other when the workload spikes). We believe in giving everyone a fair shot and rewarding hard work with opportunities for growth.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Caring for and feeding farm animals — you’ll get to know their routines, personalities, and needs.
- Cleaning and maintaining animal enclosures and farm facilities to ensure a healthy environment.
- Assisting with basic animal health checks and reporting any concerns to the supervisor.
- Supporting with daily farm operations, from unloading supplies to helping with maintenance tasks as needed.
- Working as part of a team to ensure all animals are cared for, safe, and comfortable.
- Following safety and hygiene protocols at all times — animal care is as much about responsibility as it is about routine.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Fluency in Arabic (essential for team communication and instructions).
- Willingness to work outdoors, sometimes in tough weather.
- Good physical stamina and a positive, can-do attitude.
- Reliability — we count on each other to get things done.
- Willingness to start with a one-month probation period before residency procedures begin.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Previous experience working with animals or on a farm.
- Familiarity with basic animal care or maintenance tasks.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- On-site accommodation provided — live close to your workplace and become part of the farm family.
- Starting salary from 1500 dirhams, with the potential for increases based on your skills and experience.
- A supportive, straightforward work environment where everyone knows your name.
- The chance to build hands-on experience working with animals and learn new skills every day.
While we keep things simple — no additional allowances are offered — what we do provide is a stable job, a strong sense of belonging, and the satisfaction of honest, meaningful work. If you’re ready for something different and value being part of a real team, you’ll feel right at home here.
