Yarralumla Play Station is not your standard venue… and this is not your standard handyman role.

We are looking for a capable, hands-on person to help maintain and improve a unique, rapid-evolving space that includes The Maze, Mini Golf, Farm Friends and open parklands.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety — not repetition. If you’re looking for “groundhog day”, this isn’t it.

About the Role
No two days will look the same. You might be fixing something one minute, building something the next, and solving a completely unexpected problem after that. Our Farm Friends will be a priority. From our goats to our chickens.

You’ll be responsible for:
General maintenance across the venue
Animal Open / Lock up
Grounds upkeep and presentation
Repairs (timber, fencing, fixtures, equipment)
Assisting with builds and improvements
Identifying issues before they become problems
Supporting basic care of our animals when needed (feeding, checking water, general welfare)
Keeping the site protected, functional and looking great

About You
You are practical,



capable and take pride in your work and you must have or be able to get a WWVP certificate.

Ideally, you:
Have a broad range of handyman or trade-based skills
Are a true “jack of all trades”
Are comfortable around animals and happy to assist when required
Can think on your feet and problem-solve
Work independently and get things done without being asked twice
Take ownership and care about the outcome
Enjoy working outdoors and being part of a dynamic setting

What We Offer
A unique workplace — no two days are the same
Monday - Friday
The opportunity to shape and improve a growing venue
A supportive, down-to-earth team

Hours & Engagement
This role is flexible. Your skills, attitude and output will determine how many hours you work and how the role grows.

If you like variety, take pride in your work, and don’t mind getting your hands dirty — whether fixing a fence or feeding a goat — we would love to hear from you.
