Your new Odd Job

This one’s a winter warmer. Little Beach Co. needs a heat-lover to tend their wood-fired sauna and keep the flames fed. You’ll need to maintain a cosy temperature and ensure a welcome contrast to the bracing winter weather. This secluded sauna overlooking the wild and rugged Tasman Sea is the ideal escape for someone seeking a slower pace of life.

Responsibilities

• Maintain a cosy and consistent temperature in the sauna.
• Keep the fire steadily smouldering for uninterrupted sauna sessions.
• Replenish the wood supply so the smouldering flames are never caught short.
• Test the sauna for yourself and take advantage of the serene location and rejuvenating heat.
• Honestly, that’s pretty much it. This Odd Job is all about work-life balance.

Skills and attitude

• Attention to detail that lets you fine-tune the sauna for optimal relaxation.
• Stamina to stoke the fires and stock the woodpile.
• An attunement to ambience and atmosphere to create the perfect vibe.
• A lover of simple pleasures, like crashing waves and the crackle of burning wood.
• The ability to stay on task and not be distracted by the breathtaking sea views.

In return

• A unique, one-day volunteer experience where you get to spend the day testing Little Beach Co.’s seaside sauna, soaking up the breathtaking views of the Tasman Sea.
• Take a break from your regular routine and enjoy a wellbeing boost from your new Odd Job.
• The successful applicant will be compensated with flights to Tasmania, car hire, two nights’ accommodation, and a bounty of local artisanal goods for their time.
