FEATURED JOB OPENING: Couple Grounds Keeper and House Keeper Duties - Auckland, NZ

Couple: Grounds Keeper and House Keeper (Separate Accommodation Provided)  

The need: This is a large family home set on 8 acres of land with multiple dwellings, pool and tennis court that need to be attended and maintained. The owners (working professionals) are looking for a long term solution to this issue.  

This position will ideally suit a caring and compassionate couple where at least one partner loves gardening and at least one has practical skills with regard to mechanical equipment (water blasters, weed eaters, chainsaws, ride on mowers, sprayers etc).

The gardening, grounds, pool have a seasonal work load but would consume on average 15-20 hours a week.

The housekeeping duties are minimal (8-10 hours a week) but there is an increasing role (over time) in caregiving as the owners parents also live on the property. There is therefore room to mold the roll around the right couple and their needs.       

A separate two bedroom apartment is provided along with the use of a fully maintained car for private use. Remuneration above these benefits will be negotiated with the right couple. The property is 40km from Auckland City.
