Are you looking for a sea change with a twist! Ventia are currently seeking causal relief caretakers to join their NT/WA Team on a causal basis doing leave cover for our permanent Caretakers. This unique opportunity would see you doing leave cover surrounded by some of the most stunning landscapes you’ll ever see, and I might add the barra fishing is some of the best in Australia!
