Nurse / Personal Assistant / House Manager

Australia | Fiji | New Zealand

An exceptional live-in opportunity across private Gold Coast estate, superyacht and international travel. A rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced and versatile Nurse / Personal Assistant to join a close-knit private team supporting an elderly gentleman with his healthcare, personal affairs and day-to-day lifestyle.
