Experience Level

This is always relative but we're looking for people with previous experience that can join an existing team. so mid+ applicants only please.

Where are we located?

We're a WFH studio based in the East coast of Australia (Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane) and open to working with people anywhere in Australia. We also have people in Tasmania and South Australia.

Perks & Benefits:

  • 5 weeks annual leave after 2 years (start with 4 weeks. This is fair work law in Australia but sometimes people dont realise). While this contract is 2 years there is a chance it will extend to a permanent position and this would kick in

  • Increased paid primary carer's leave from 12 weeks to 16 weeks

  • Increased paid secondary carer's leave from 2 weeks to 4 weeks
