Schoolroom situation

Our schoolroom is situated in a cottage of the back of the main homestead. The fully enclosed front verandah of the cottage is the main part of the schoolroom with the other room being for the computer which has internet connection. Both rooms have reverse cycle airconditioner/heating so are very comfortable. The schoolroom also has TV with DVD/VCR player and CD player. Plenty of shelving and ample space for activities. The schoolroom is fully stocked with all materials needed to complete any task inlcuding art/craft supplies & games and reference materials.

Accommodation


The Govie accommodation is a fully self contained cottage situated about 30mtrs from the main house yard consisting of 1 bedroom, lounge/kitchen/diningroom, & own bathroom/laundry. The cottage has refridgerated aircon & heating along with full size fridge & stove/wardrobe/double bed/louge chair/dining table/dvd player & TV with own black box (making it independent of the main house). Linen is supplied. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking own meals however this can be discussed if Govie would rather eat with family on week days. We have mains power. The cottage os newly renovated.
 

Job Description

Normal Hours of work: (Monday to Friday)
Schoolroom: 8am -- 12 midday (with smoko break somewhere in that time).
LUNCH : 12 midday -- 1pm
Nannying hours: 1pm -- 6pm

The Govie is expected to be totally responsible for the day to day running of the schoolroom including all lesson preparation, supervision and feedback to the teacher. It is also expected that the schoolroom be given a thorough clean weekly and a tidy upon conclusion of each school day with the 5 year old encouraged to patrticipate in by way of tidying his desk. We want the schoolroom to be a fun, positive learning environment for our little boy. He is a very keen student & can spin a yarn like an old man. When possible, as the twins get older if they could be included in such activities such as sport and outdoor play, art & drama that would be fantastic.

After school: (Nannying hours)
The Govie would be expected to supervise the twins in the afternoons which may include general play, meal times and bathing. They are at a fun stage, although busy, starting to learn to play together. They are dear little boys who love to spend time with you.

There is no expectation to do jobs outside the working day although the hours may vary when attending mini-schools or school visits to Broken Hill. The choice with meals is to eat with the family or cook for yourself. It would be appreciated if eating with us then just a hand with the clearing of the table after dinner. We have a dish washer so there are usually no dishes to be done.

Weekends are your own although you are welcome to join in with what ever is happening if you wish...i.e. social event or paddock work etc.

Expectations and Special Requirements

You will need to comply with all the regulations of In Home Care (NSW) which include having a working with children check and holding a current first aid certificate. You will also need to have your own Public Liability Insurance policy.

We want our Govie to be honest, reliable & loyal and have a obvious love of children. Our Govie needs to be able to cope with the isolation of living on a property with just our family for company.

Having your own vehicle would be an advantage travel on weekends.

We would rather someone who has completed their year 12 HSC & is a non smoker.

Someone with previous Govie experience would be great although all applicants will be considered
