Activities & Shift

We are flexible as to when work gets done, we avoid doing outdoor work in the midday sun in summer, doing work earlier in the morning and late afternoon, in winter months, this is less of an issue.
Cleaning of our two Airbnb properties is usually done between 11am - 3pm
Days off are flexible, as some of the work is not time-dependent, and if it is a good day to go to the beach, it makes sense to take that day off.

Rules

You must have the appropriate Visa for Australia, we cant help you with Visa applications.
Intermediate or above proficiency in English.
Apart from that, we are pretty relaxed & flexible.
