Program Details

So basically we want you to help for about 4 hours per day, and we will provide you with accommodation (caravan with a heat pump) and breakfast, lunch and dinner (usually with the family) You are expected to help with cooking to do as much as the other family members do. The hours are flexible based on what you need to get done and also the weather. Quite happy for you to do a flexi model so more help one day, say 6 or 8 hours in one day, then less help or none the next day. Overall the hours need to stack up but we are not tracking it closely, it is more task based.

Activities & Shift

Normally you will work with Trishna or Dan until you know what you are doing.
