Job Description

About the Role

Vans Home Center is hiring a Part-Time Farm Hand whose work will directly support the daily operations and mission of "My Little Barn", a nonprofit farm by Rea's Heart dedicated to creating a place of healing, connection, and hope for children and families. While Vans is the employer of record, this position is performed entirely on-site at the farm in Huntertown and is integral to ensuring the animals and facilities are cared for with excellence.

This role requires consistent availability to complete morning and evening feedings. In addition to animal care, the position involves hands-on maintenance, repairs, and small construction projects around the farm.

  • Assist with safe and compassionate animal handling and basic grooming
  • Ensure all animals are secure and their living areas meet safety standards

Farm Maintenance & Handyman Duties

  • Perform routine repairs on barns, shelters, fences, stalls, and equipment
  • Install or repair fencing and gates
  • Assist with small building projects and property improvements
  • Maintain tools and equipment in good working condition
  • Proactively identify and communicate maintenance and safety needs

    • Mission-Driven Workplace Expectations

  • Represent both Vans Home Center and Reas Heart professionally
  • Demonstrate compassion, kindness, and respect toward animals, staff, families, and volunteers
  • Follow all safety procedures for tools, equipment, animals, and property
  • Work independently and reliably, especially for daily feeding routines

    • Qualifications

  • Experience with farm animals preferred
  • Handyman, carpentry, or light construction experience required
  • Ability to lift 5075 lbs and perform physically demanding tasks
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all seasons
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently
  • Dependable transportation
  • Must be available for both morning and evening feedings. Each feeding typically takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
  • Successful completion of a background check is required
  • A heart for supporting Reas Hearts mission is highly valued

    • Hours & Compensation

  • Approximately 2025 hours per week
  • Required morning and evening duties daily
  • Additional hours available for maintenance or seasonal projects
  • $25.00 per hour
