For all positions at Mt Hart you must:
- Be fit and hard-working, with good attention to detail
- Be willing to follow directions and have common sense
- Be able to work up to 60 hours per week in peak season (Mid June - Mid August)
- Be well-presented, resepectful, considerate and polite
- Be able to get on well with other staff and both domestic and international guests.
- Be willing and able to turn your hand to whatever is asked of you (within limits).
- Disclose any physical impairments that will hinder your ability to carry out your job. Please do not apply if you have serious physical or mental health issues - we are a long way from medical help.
You will get one day off per week, which may not be on the same day of the week. During the peak season (Mid June - Mid August) you may be required to work up to 60 hours per week, but may work less, depending on how busy our bookings are.
Please do not approach working at Mt Hart as just a holiday job.
We are a business, and require staff who are going to help us to run our business well.
Note:
It is important that you understand that you will be living and working with a very small group of people.
Before you apply for a job in such a remote location, please think carefully about whether you will be happy working and living in close proximity with others, and whether you will be happy to spend your time off at Mt Hart. Without your own transport, you will be limited to spending your days off on the station and exploring the surrounding wilderness.
The closest town (Derby) is over three hours drive away.
You will not enjoy living at Mt Hart if you cannot handle living in an 'isolated' environment away from lots of people. In other words, if you are very gregarious and crave the constant stimulous of the city lifestyle you will not be happy working out here.
But.... if you enjoy studying and immersing yourself in the beauty of nature, walking, reading, helping and learning from others, then like so many of our previous employees you might find working at Mt Hart to be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, and are very welcome to come and join us.
