Offer description

We're the highest‑reviewed service in the country, with 500+ reviews and a 5‑star rating on Google. We offer a high‑end, detail‑driven experience to homes and businesses across Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, and surrounding areas.I run the business from my home, which is also our headquarters and depot. I'm looking for a friendly, capable person to support me day‑to‑day through our busy season while I focus on expanding into new opportunities. You'll be working right here with me — it's personal, hands‑on, flexible, and not at all corporate. Some tasks (especially inbox work) can be repetitive, and that's okay: fast, caring customer service is our top priority. My priority is to hire an individual that will be in a position to return each season to work with me, this is vital.Website: CONTRACT, PAY & SCHEDULEContract: Seasonal (contract role), Nov 1 – Dec 20Pay: €22 per hourHours and pattern:Nov 1 – Nov 14: 5 days per week, approximately 3–5 hours per dayNov 15 – Dec 20: 5 days per week, approximately 5–8 hours per dayHours can flex based on workload and personal needs — especially if you have school runs or need to get children home in the afternoons/evenings. We'll plan together week by week.Location: On-site at my home/stable-yard HQ and depot (office, packaging room, and small workshop)Workspace setup: We do have a small dedicated office space, but we often find it's nicer to work in the house — it's warmer, brighter, and better for collaboration.
