Caretaker Required

If you are looking for a unique outback experience whilst earning some money, then read on.

At Hamilton Downs Youth Camp, 75kms from Alice Springs, off the Tanami Rd, we are seeking applications from mature couples interested in caretaking the facility for set 3 month periods. Available dates will be discussed with suitable couples after application appraisal.

The camp is located in the shadows of the Chewings Range in a spectacular setting with lots of interesting things to do in your free time. A modest salary is on offer, plus free accommodation in a comfortable two bedroom cottage with plenty of room to park a van or motor home.

You will need to be practical, resourceful, and fit enough to do the maintenance and cleaning work around the property as well as some office work and be happy living in a semi-remote location. Typically, you get to Alice Springs once a week for supplies, using the camp Hilux utility.  What we need are enthusiastic couples, keen to maintain the high standards of the camp whilst enjoying the experience of living in this great part of the country.

If selected, applicants must each have a current First Aid certificate and the Northern Territory Working with Children clearance (also known as the Ochre Card) this includes a National Police Criminal History check. Copies of these certificates must be forwarded before employment can commence.
