Area: Waimauku, North / West Auckland

Work hours: Three hours daily, from 11.00.am.
You will be supporting a gentleman who lives on a 10 acre block of land. He needs someone who is confident with animals. Specifically, large breed dogs.

My client has a spinal injury and is unable to stand or walk for long periods of time. In the three hour period, he also requires a meal cooked and some light housework done. This work is for eleven days. There is a possibility that this could lead to ongoing work, as this man might be facing surgery in the near future.

Great communication skills, both verbal and written
A full drivers licence and your own vehicle.
