Leading Hand Track Work Supervison

Does working for a Club that is the future of thoroughbred racing something that excites you?

What about working at Australia’s newest horse racing & training facility?

And in addition to that, we’re located on the outer southeast Melbourne rim, near the township of Tynong.  No traffic, no drama!

Pakenham Racing Club can confidently boast a long history in horse racing and training, but even more importantly we’re a Club of the future.  We pride ourselves on our facilities that we offer the horse racing industry and our ongoing commitment to our staff to make our Club one of the best places to work.

The Role

With the ongoing expansion of the Clubs training services and the building of two uphill training tracks, we’re building our team up in readiness.

As part of the Trainer Services team, you’ll typically work an 11-day fortnight.  Shifts start around 3:10am & finish around 9:45am.  This role is to assist leading and developing the team that monitor the adherence to the rules of training and OH&S obligations are followed for the Pakenham trainers and their employees.  You’ll also provide backup support to the Trainer Services Manager.

The Right Fit

Some of the key skills and experience you’ll need for this position include:

• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Previous experience with supervising and leading teams.
• You must have experience around horses and knowledge of horse training activities.
• Understanding of OH&S issues related to horse training activities.
• Due to the elevated risk involved around horses, all team members must be first aid trained or prepared to undertake first aid training (PRC will maintain the currency of all staff first aid)

The Perks

• Competitive salary for suitably qualified applicant.
• Start early, finish early, have the rest of the day for your leisure.
• Staff discount to all three Pakenham Racing Club venues – Club Officer, Cardinia Club and Pakenham Racing Club Tynong.
• Work alongside some of Australia’s top trainers, riders and horses.
• The opportunity to learn from and grow with a passionate, professional, and inclusive team.

If you think you have the right qualities and work to a high standard that fits our Club, have the necessary skills and motivation and would like to be part of a progressive racing club we’re keen to talk to you.
