A warm, active and welcoming family based in Brisbane's eastern suburbs is seeking an experienced Family Assistant to become a trusted part of their household.

You'll work closely with the family to ensure the home runs smoothly, the children are well supported, and the day-to-day logistics are seamlessly managed.

This is a full-time, fixed-term position for 24 months, created to support the family's current stage of life while their children are in primary and middle school. It offers stability, excellent remuneration, generous leave and the opportunity to build a trusted long-term working relationship within a respectful and appreciative household.

The roster includes a mix of shorter and longer days depending on the family's schedule. There will be periods requiring additional support during busy family times, balanced by lighter days, consecutive days off and minimal weekend work.

Some longer days may include a break in the middle of the day where support is required across both morning and afternoon routines.

A rolling roster is provided three months in advance, allowing excellent visibility for personal planning and leave.

The role includes five weeks' paid annual leave each year.
