This is for a Per­ma­nent or Fixed Term appoint­ment at var­i­ous hours per fort­night, with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of extension(s) and/​or permanency. 

Liv­ing in Coral Bay, West­ern Aus­tralia, offers a peace­ful coastal lifestyle sur­round­ed by nat­ur­al beau­ty. Nes­tled on the Ninga­loo Reef, the town is per­fect for marine enthu­si­asts, with snorkelling, div­ing, and fish­ing right off the beach. The com­mu­ni­ty is small and close-knit, cre­at­ing a relaxed and friend­ly atmos­phere. Sun­sets over the Indi­an Ocean are breath­tak­ing, and the pace of life is slow and serene. While ameni­ties are lim­it­ed, the stun­ning envi­ron­ment more than com­pen­sates. Coral Bay is ide­al for those seek­ing a remote, nature-filled escape, where the reef meets the desert and every day feels like a hol­i­day. Coral Bay is sit­u­at­ed 1118 kilo­me­tres from Perth.
