Job description to join Caretaker Team
The Columbine Ranch is located in Jefferson, Colorado. The Caretakers report to the Ranch Manager/co-owner. The Columbine Ranch is an operating ranch of about 2,100 acres with horses, cattle, fowl, other livestock, and hay production. The caretakers are responsible for keeping the ranch productive and maintaining smooth operations while at all times respecting that it is first and foremost a family home. Along with main focus of the ranch operations a high value is set on historic and environmental preservation. The Caretakers’ most important attribute is the ability to work comfortably within these priorities. The job requires a team of people with varied skills and knowledge working to care for The Columbine Ranch while supporting the family and their mission.
Each of the Caretakers at the Ranch will have different areas of the operations that are their primary focus, including different animals over which they have
greater control. Despite these divisions all of the Caretaker must understand that the care for the entire Ranch is their responsibility and if one person is sick, or unable to complete jobs on their own, it is the job of every other Caretaker to step in and get the task done.
The Caretakers are expected to carefully consider the cost of every decision made regarding the Ranch, including hiring someone else to complete a task. Outside help should be hired as needed and it is hoped that Caretakers will take advantage of any opportunity to learn new skills, whether by observing and participating in tasks to learn from outside hires, attending courses and workshops on specialty subjects, or through direct coaching from experts. Ranch Manager/co-owner will support these opportunities as they enable the Caretakers to better fulfill their role. Any person with the right to be on the property must be able to expect the Caretakers aid when unexpected difficulties or unsafe situations arise. As Caretaker there can be no question of “being off the clock” if one of our animals is in need of care or during any type of urgent safety concern.
