You must be prepared to work weekends and public holidays (with relief provided for holidays), enforce park rules (including evicting tenants) and follow processes where required. A current driver’s license is required.
The position is more suited to a couple but a single person with the right credentials may be considered. We would be prepared to consider visa sponsorship for the right applicants.
The job includes on-site accommodation in manager’s quarters (including utilities) and this will form part of the offered salary package.
Wages and working times are negotiable depending on experience and required flexibility respectively. As the park is NOT considered to be a holiday park, there is a bonus that leave can be taken during the Christmas holiday period provided that sufficient notice is given to arrange relief managers.
When replying, please include a covering letter highlighting your suitability for the position and introducing BOTH applicants, a copy of your resume and applicable references for both members of the couple.
A police criminal record check will be required for all successful applicants.
