about the opportunity

Currently seeking a reliable and fit person to participate in the daily operations of my small lawn-mowing business, Meercut Mowing, whilst also assisting me with everyday activities like shopping, preparing breakfast and maintaining a clean and positive living environment.

The successful applicant will possess strong communication and customer service skills, and enjoy working outdoors.

This role can have flexible hours, permanent part-time can be considered for the right applicant after a probationary period. To begin, the role requires that you have your own ABN and insurance.
