Working Caretaker Couple, BROKEN HILL NSW

If remote living is your ideal lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity for a couple to enjoy the peace, space and independence working on an expansive grazing property while caring for a well-maintained outback station north-east of Broken Hill.

• Enjoy a genuine outback lifestyle with a comfortable home, modern services and the freedom that comes with living and working on a large-scale grazing property.
• Take ownership of the day-to-day upkeep of station infrastructure, water systems, fences and the homestead surrounds.
• Benefit from a stable, full-time role with negotiable remuneration, quality accommodation and long-term security for the right couple.

Set across 182,000 acres in far western New South Wales, this cattle and goat grazing operation offers a true remote Australian experience without sacrificing essential comforts. Well-maintained access roads lead directly to the homestead, with the nearest bitumen road approximately 85km away and Broken Hill located around 280km to the north-east. This is a genuine lifestyle opportunity suited to those who appreciate wide open spaces, self-sufficiency and the quiet rewards of station living. The owners consider the property their home and regularly travel between other holdings, creating an important role for a reliable couple who can take pride in maintaining the property during their absence.

Reporting directly to the property owners, this full-time live-in position would suit a practical and dependable couple seeking a long-term remote lifestyle role. The role is primarily centred around property maintenance, water infrastructure and homestead upkeep, with minimal involvement in livestock operations. There is no requirement for mustering or cattle yard work; however, opportunities to assist with livestock activities can be available if the successful couple has an interest in being involved.

Key Responsibilities & Duties:

• Maintain livestock fencing across the property, undertaking repairs and general upkeep to ensure infrastructure remains in sound working order.
• Monitor, start and service generators supplying water systems, while carrying out routine watering duties, trough cleaning and basic maintenance of pumps and associated infrastructure.
• Maintain the homestead surrounds through lawn and garden care, general property presentation and ensuring the homestead precinct remains clean, tidy and well cared for.

Selection Criteria:

• Applicants must apply as a couple, as the role occasionally requires an additional set of hands to assist with property maintenance tasks.
• Previous experience living or working in remote rural environments will be highly regarded, along with a genuine appreciation for outback station life.
• Basic mechanical aptitude and the ability to confidently undertake routine maintenance, minor repairs and troubleshooting will be advantageous.

Additional Particulars:

• A well-presented three-bedroom home with fenced yard is provided, along with rural power, Starlink internet, Telstra mobile coverage, television reception and weekly road mail service.
• This is a full-time live-in position with negotiable remuneration, offering a unique opportunity for a couple seeking a long-term remote lifestyle change.
• Applications will be considered as they are received.
• Please note that our client does not offer visa sponsorship for this position and are unable to accept applications from candidates currently on a Working Holiday visa in Australia.
