Caring for community projects and horses, we are seeking someone to help us who is keen on culture exchange, education, great outdoors and not fussed about our high paced organised lifestyle, multiple language spoken at home and someone confortable driving around on the left or playing in gumboots in the paddocks. We are based in the heart of the city in Ponsonby, close to all fun cultural and restaurant life, but spend lots of time in the countryside.
