Job description

Grounds & Maintenance Officer - Kin Kora

• $28 - $32 per hour + super | Permanent Full-Time
• Hands-on grounds, gardening and general maintenance role within our Kin Kora community
• Permanent full-time opportunity where your work makes a visible difference every day

Do you enjoy working outdoors, taking pride in keeping grounds looking their best and being the person who can turn their hand to a variety of maintenance jobs?

Join Eureka Villages as our Grounds & Maintenance Officer at Kin Kora and help us maintain a safe, welcoming and well-presented community for our residents.

Why Eureka?

At Eureka Villages, we believe community living is about more than providing accommodation. We create welcoming communities where people feel safe, connected and genuinely at home.

As our Grounds & Maintenance Officer, you’ll play an important role in the everyday presentation and operation of our Kin Kora community. From maintaining gardens and lawns to completing general repairs and responding to resident maintenance requests, your work will have a direct impact on the place our residents call home.

Reporting to the Park Manager, you’ll work as part of the onsite team while having the independence to identify what needs doing and get on with the job.

Guided by our values of Putting People First, Embracing the Challenge, Committing and Following Up, Acting with Purpose and Building Belonging, you’ll join a team that takes pride in creating communities where people feel they belong

What's the role?

This is a practical, hands-on role for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in seeing the results of their work.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining gardens, lawns and outdoor areas, including mowing, edging, whipper snipping, pruning, planting, weeding, watering and general garden care.
• Completing general repairs and handyman tasks, such as painting, minor plumbing, replacing fixtures and locks, basic plastering and other non-trade maintenance.
• Keeping the park clean, safe and well presented, including rubbish removal, pressure cleaning and identifying maintenance or safety issues requiring attention.
• Working safely and responsibly, following WHS requirements, using tools, equipment and chemicals appropriately and maintaining accurate maintenance records.
• Providing friendly and respectful service to residents, responding to maintenance requests and working collaboratively with the Park Manager, colleagues and contractors.

What's in it for you?

At Eureka, we recognise that our people are our greatest asset.

• $28 - $32 per hour + super
• Permanent full-time employment with the stability of regular hours
• A hands-on and varied role where you’re not stuck behind a desk
• The opportunity to work independently while being part of a supportive onsite team
• Work that makes a genuine and visible difference to our residents and their community

What's it like working for Eureka?

No two days are exactly the same.

You might start the morning mowing and maintaining the grounds before moving on to a resident maintenance request, repairing a fixture, pressure cleaning an outdoor area or helping prepare a unit or communal space.

You’ll spend plenty of time outdoors and interacting with residents, so we’re looking for someone who is approachable, respectful and happy to lend a hand while maintaining professional boundaries.

Most importantly, you’ll take pride in your work and understand that the small things matter when you’re helping maintain someone’s home.

Is this role right for you?

We’re looking for someone practical, reliable and comfortable getting stuck in.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Previous experience in groundskeeping, gardening, landscaping, property maintenance or a handyman role.
• Practical experience using hand and power tools and confidence completing a range of general, non-trade maintenance tasks.
• A good understanding of WHS and safe work practices, including the safe use of equipment and chemicals.
• A proactive and independent approach, with the ability to identify maintenance needs, prioritise your workload and follow tasks through to completion.
• A friendly and respectful communication style, with the ability to work comfortably around residents, colleagues, contractors and suppliers.

You’ll also need to be comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions and have a strong commitment to safety, presentation and resident satisfaction.

Ready to join Eureka? If you’re looking for casual work where you can be part of a friendly team and contribute to the everyday wellbeing of our residents and guests, we’d love to hear from you.
