Job description

We are a busy family of six with four school-aged boys, all involved in school, sport and extracurricular activities. We also run a busy family business and are looking for a capable, proactive Household Manager / Family Assistant to help keep our home and family life organised and running smoothly.

This is not a traditional nanny or cleaning role. We retain a regular cleaner for heavier cleaning. The focus is household management — staying one step ahead, creating practical systems and taking ownership of the day-to-day organisation of our home.

About the role

We are a busy family of six with four school-aged boys, all involved in school, sport and extracurricular activities. We also run a busy family business and are looking for a capable, proactive Household Manager / Family Assistant to help keep our home and family life organised and running smoothly.

This is not a traditional nanny or cleaning role. We retain a regular cleaner for heavier cleaning. The focus is household management — staying one step ahead, creating practical systems and taking ownership, day-to-day organisation of our home.

Key responsibilities

• Weekly meal planning, grocery shopping and healthy family meal preparation

• Keeping the pantry, fridge and freezer organised and stocked

• Laundry, linen, wardrobes and ensuring school and sports uniforms and gear are ready to go

• Managing family rosters, routines, school, sport and extracurricular schedules

• Organising household supplies, cupboards and storage

• Coordinating household and property maintenance — arranging trades and services, obtaining quotes where required, booking appointments and being available for access

• Keeping track of routine and upcoming maintenance so jobs are organised before they become a problem

• Day-to-day tidying and keeping the home organised

• Helping with breakfast and the morning routine from around 7:00am

• Meeting the boys at the bus stop around 3:30pm when required

• Occasional school/activity transport and household errands

We're looking for someone who will genuinely take ownership of running the household. If something needs repairing, servicing, restocking, booking or organising, we'd like you to be comfortable taking the initiative to work out what needs to happen and see it through — rather than waiting for a daily list of tasks.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is naturally organised, reliable, trustworthy and proactive. You’ll enjoy planning ahead, creating order, working independently and taking genuine ownership of what needs to be done.

Experience in household management, professional organising, administration, executive assistance or a similar role would be highly regarded, but strong life experience, initiative and the right personality are equally important to us.

You will also need:

• A current driver’s licence and safe driving record

• A current NSW Working with Children Check (WWCC), or willingness to obtain one

• Willingness to undertake a National Police Check

• Confidence preparing healthy family meals

• The ability to work independently, use initiative and manage competing priorities

• Strong communication skills and a high level of discretion

Experience with neurodiverse children or families is welcomed but not essential.

What we offer

• Private self-contained cabin with power included, set on our peaceful 8-acre property surrounded by wildlife and just minutes from Kingscliff and the beach

• Full-time Monday–Friday role, generally structured around the school day

• Regular cleaner retained for heavier/deep cleaning

• Vehicle available for work-related duties

• Long-term opportunity for the right person

• A respectful, flexible and appreciative family environment

Ultimately, we're looking for someone who can take ownership of our household systems and daily organisation so we can focus on what matters most — being present with our kids and enjoying family life.

If you love bringing order to a busy household, planning ahead and being the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, we'd love to hear from you.
