Housekeeper
~ A unique opportunity to help shape the future of private sector conservation in the Kimberley ~
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is a global leader in conservation, providing hope to Australia’s wildlife with a science-informed, land management partnership model that delivers high impact results.
AWC's Mornington Wilderness Camp (MWC) is one of the Kimberley’s highest rated destinations, known worldwide for its scenery (sandstone escarpments, ancient gorges and vast savanna woodlands), its wildlife (Gouldian Finches are one of 200 bird species) and the integration with a working conservation project. Attracting 4,500 visitors each year, MWC offers safari tent accommodation, 25 site campground, a licensed bush restaurant and a range of tours/interpretative products.
Based at MWC, this is a stunning opportunity to be a part of the continued success of an iconic wilderness camp which contributes substantially to the success of Australia’s most effective conservation organisation. All proceeds from our Kimberley Wilderness Camps are invested in the conservation of AWC’s Kimberley properties. Your success in this role will mean more revenue to invest in the conservation of threatened species such as the Gouldian Finch and the Northern Quoll and greater public awareness about AWC and the plight of Australia’s wildlife.
AWC is seeking an energetic and experienced Housekeeper to join our team! Reporting to the Wilderness Camp Manager, the Housekeeper is responsible for the housekeeping of the camp and will work with Chefs/Cook, Deputy Camp Manager, and All-Rounders to ensure a high level of service, a consistent conservation message, and to leave a lasting impression on all who visit. This is offered on a seasonal fixed-term contract with immediate start (May-October).
In addition to experience in hospitality or tourism, you will have demonstrated exceptional people management skills and superior customer service skills. You will have a good track record of providing quality outcomes, as well as excellent communication and organisational skills. A strong work ethic and a high degree of flexibility is necessary, as you will be supporting and working with a diverse range of staff. Applicants should have an interest in wildlife conservation and eco-tourism practices and be comfortable living and working in a remote location as part of a small team.
This is a unique opportunity to join Australia’s largest non-government conservation organisation and help shape the future of private sector conservation in Australia. The remuneration offer includes in addition to salary, basic single share accommodation.
