Team Leader Agriculture 80-100%
Year-round position
starting March 1, 2026, or by arrangement.
You have an agricultural education and bring experience in handling farm animals, performing agricultural work, and team leadership, and preferably are not tied to your own farm. You enjoy working with animals as much as planning the work and assignments of the staff. You are willing to make an above-average effort during the season (April to October), including weekends. In the winter months, besides caring for your own animals, forestry and/or maintenance work are the focus of the activity. As a team-oriented and communicative person, you are interested in acquiring broad knowledge about our animals, the historical background of agriculture and the museum, and engaging with our guests. High responsibility, independent work, and a friendly demeanor are natural for you.
As part of the Ballenberg family, you benefit from many discounts in and around the museum.
Do you feel addressed?
