Join Our Team

We are currently looking for Gate Sales & Ice-Cream Staff for December & January - Sorry Picking & Packing Positions are NOT available at this stage.

Seasonal Positions

Why don’t you join our team at Gala Berry during our annual strawberry picking and packing season? From October through to January, we need a large number of seasonal workers to help us with our strawberry harvest.

The fruit we pick and pack is destined for both the local NZ market and exported overseas.
As our crop comes on stream, we need for good employees for picking in our fields and in our packhouse. Our strawberries are packed in our packhouse at Omaha.
Packhouse workers are paid on an hourly rate and Pickers are paid by the kg under contract. Remember that picking and packing work is manual labour and you do need to be fit.

If you would like to join our team, we’d love to hear from you. Please read our job description and employment conditions and then fill out our online application form.

Sorry we don't have any permanent part-time or full-time positions available at the moment!

Employment Conditions

If you are looking for part-time, non-permanent work during our strawberry picking season, and you are not a New Zealand resident, you will need to apply for either a work permit or holiday working visa. Some nationalities are entitled to working holiday visas, so you should get in touch with a New Zealand embassy or consulate in your own country to find out if you are eligible, and then apply to get a holiday working visa before your arrival in New Zealand.

If you cannot get a working holiday visa you will need to get a work permit. For more information about applying for a work permit and/or determining whether you are eligible, please visit the New Zealand Immigration web site.

All workers need a tax number which you can obtain from the Inland Revenue Department. Getting a New Zealand tax number is a straightforward process. Go to https://www.ird.govt.nz/how-to/irdnumbers/ for more information.
