Do you instinctively love transforming a cupboard into a calm, beautifully organised space? Are you quick and confident in the kitchen?

We're a busy, health-conscious family of four with two home-schooled children (6 and 12). We run an online wellness business from our low-tox and chemical-free home. We're seeking a capable, warm and seriously organised person to join us long term. You'll cook nourishing plant-based, gluten-free food, create real order in our home and spend quality time with our kids. It's an all-round family support role for someone who enjoys all three aspects of the role.

This is a role for someone who delights in being of service. You take quiet pride in work done properly. You're low ego with high standards, you move with pace, and you see things through.

We're often out and about, so you'll regularly be working on your own. Someone independent who enjoys their own company will thrive here. We don't want to hand you a list each day. Over time, you'll come to know our home, routines and preferences well enough to anticipate what's needed and quietly make it happen.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Your responsibilities are divided into three areas. The split varies day to day, but as a guide:

- 50% Cooking and food prep

- 30% Housekeeping, organisation and laundry

- 20% Childcare

COOKING
You don't need to be a qualified chef, but you're efficient and confident in the kitchen, with good knife skills. You could prepare dinner for four and a baked snack, then leave the kitchen spotless, in around 90 minutes.

We follow Medical Medium protocols, and we'll teach you everything you need to know. This suits someone who's curious and enjoys learning a new way of cooking and getting the details right. Once you know the foundations, it's surprisingly simple, and creative rather than restrictive. We also have a library of cookbooks and resources to draw from.

You won't be thrown in the deep end. We'll go through meal ideas together and share the recipes and tips that work for us. As you get to know our family's tastes, you'll bring more of your own ideas to the table.

- Whole-food, plant-based and gluten-free cooking

- Fresh family meals, lunchboxes, snacks, salads, juices and smoothies

- Following recipes accurately, with enough feel flavours and ingredients to adapt them to our needs

- Planning meals together with us

- Keeping the kitchen, fridge and pantry clean and in order

HOUSEKEEPING AND ORGANISATION
This is where you'll make a real difference. We’d like our home to feel calm and beautifully presented,



polished rather than just tidy. Our home is also our workplace and the children’s school, so consistent presentation matters. You’ll create order from the ground up and then keep it.

- Resetting rooms after family use, and a reset each day

- Setting up systems: organising and labelling the pantry and cupboards,

- and organising wardrobes, linen and storage

- Keeping the kids' bedrooms and play spaces organised

- Decluttering in collaboration with us and finding a proper home for everything

- Laundry, folding and putting away; towels, and weekly bed and linen changes

- Monitoring supplies and flagging or reordering before they run out, some groceries, deliveries and errands

- Preparing for guests, and assistance with packing and unpacking for travel

- Dishes, emptying the dishwasher, emptying bins and light cleaning between professional cleans

In 30 minutes, you can restore calm to a lived-in kitchen and living area. You can wash, fold, and put away a load of laundry the same day, every time.

If a client or employer has ever said to you: "I don't know how you do it, our home looks amazing," we can't wait to meet you.

CHILDCARE
We value our time with our children, so you won’t usually be caring for them throughout the whole day. You’ll step in when we have work, appointments or one child is at an activity. You’ll need to be someone we completely trust. Your support gives us more quality time with our kids and the space to work on our business. Both our kids love being in the kitchen, so cooking together is often part of the day.

- Quality time through play, outings and creative activities

- Warm and playful, with calm, healthy boundaries

- Our children are mostly screen-free, so you'll need to be present and engaged

- Comfortable following our conscious, gentle, respectful and responsive parenting approach

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU ARE

- Switched-on and one step ahead: you keep pace with a busy family, know what's coming up and have things ready right on time

- Detail-oriented, with a love of order, systems, aesthetics and finishing touches

- Proactive, reliable,



self-directed and comfortable taking the lead

- Nurturing, playful, grounded and emotionally mature

- Health-conscious and passionate about plant-based food

- A professional, trusted, discreet presence who reads a room well

- An open, clear communicator who saves non-urgent questions for the right moment

- Someone who enjoys travel and is happy to keep things running smoothly for the family while we're away

THIS ROLE ISN'T FOR YOU IF…
You're looking for a flexible in-between job, or a seasonal opportunity. This is a full-time, long term role, supporting a busy family. It suits someone settled locally who enjoys caring for others, loves being useful and gets real satisfaction from a job done well.

REQUIREMENTS

- Experience in private households, housekeeping, hospitality kitchens or similar including cooking family meals

- Familiarity with Medical Medium or plant-based, gluten-free cooking is an advantage

- Confident and experienced with children

- Driver's licence and reliable vehicle

- Blue Card, Police Check and First Aid/CPR (or willing to obtain)

- Non-smoker / non-vaper

- Australian working rights (not suitable for working holiday visas)

- Available for occasional domestic and international travel to support the family

WHAT WE OFFER

- A permanent, stable position

- $85,000 package (including super)

- Fortnightly cleaner for the deep cleaning

- Clear expectations, detailed household guides and recipes

- A collaborative, respectful relationship, with support as you learn

- A warm, appreciative family who values the people who support us

- The prospect to become a trusted, valued part of our household long term

TO APPLY
Please only apply if you're seeking a long-term role and would enjoy all aspects of the role - cooking, household and childcare. If that's you but you don't tick every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.

In your application, please include:

1. Your CV and two professional references

2. If you have them, 1–2 before-and-after photos of a space you've organised yourself. If not, describe one in a few sentences.

3. A short introduction answering:

- What's a plant-based or gluten-free family meal you can cook quickly and well?

- How do you care for children, and how do you balance being playful with holding respectful boundaries?

- How long you stayed in your last three roles, and why each one ended

- Your availability and when you can start

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to a paid trial.
