About this house sitting position in Brisbane

We are looking for a long-term house sitter / caretaker for our inner-city Bed & Breakfast.
Charming 6 bedroom, 6 bathroom Queenslander currently run as a bed & breakfast, short-stay accommodation. 5 bedrooms for guests and 1 for the house-sitter/caretaker.

We are looking for who will take a hands on role in the operation of the property but not the booking aspect as that will be done by the owners. The B&B has run for several years by live in owners and attracts a variety of corporate and holiday visitors who prefer staying in a cosy, renovated Queenslander close to the CBD. The house is on a quiet street, larger block, but within minutes walk from high frequency transport, major shopping facilitates, cafes and cinemas. The B&B has run for years with 5 star reviews and we need someone to help continue that success.

We are hoping to find someone mature, honest, trust-worthy and reliable to take care of the house for an indefinite period. Tasks will include:

- putting the continental breakfast into rooms (no cooking required). All supplies to be provided on-site by the owners. This literally takes a few minutes.

- greeting guests on arrival and assistance as required

- room change over after guests leave - cleaning and linen washing

- keeping house otherwise tidy and presentable.

This does not require much time to do in any given day as there may only be 1 or 2 rooms to do a day (during week when not as busy or with longer stay guests).

The owners provide full support to provide flexibility in the case the sitter is unavailable on any given day (or days) and can share tasks as required (e.g. yard maintenance etc).

You will get free lodging for an indefinite period and modest compensation based on the number of room change overs required. As well as flexibility if and when required.

Would suit someone who works from home, studying, part-time worker, semi-retired or retired.

Hope to hear from you. Read more...
