Aruma needs YOU (yes, you!)

At Aruma, we support people with disabilities to live great lives. It's the reason we exist - after all, why should anyone have to settle for anything less? And to make this a reality, we rely on the skill and commitment of our Aruma team.

Summerland Farm is one of the most successful disability enterprises in Australia - perhaps the world. As a business of Australia's largest disability service provider, Aruma (formerly known as House with No Steps), our purpose is to provide employment for people with a disability.

Over the years, our farm has gone from strength to strength as the agricultural hub of the region and a must-see tourist attraction. We now have over 80,000 visitors per year!

An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, dedicated professional to attract and recruit people with a disability to work in Summerland Farm's diverse and exciting businesses.
