Housekeeping Jobs on the Central Coast – Join the DontHaveTime Team

If we go by the cleaning award, we need to provide travel per km rate between jobs.

But what we do instead is pay you a much higher than award rate (PLUS super) to accommodate this. Along with that higher rate, a minimum of 2-hour shifts and we do our very best to give you local work, where available, to minimise any out-of-pocket expenses to you.

Although training is only approximately 2 days. There is usually a 2-week period where we are working with you to handover jobs and get you new clients once you have passed your test. So these next two weeks can be a little more sporadic until we get you all booked in.

NOTE: (The two initial training days are paid after 3 weeks. The trial day is unpaid.)

Yes you need to have a reliable, registered vehicle as you will be carting equipment to sites.

Weekly on Thursdays – no we don’t pay cash, money is direct deposited into your account.  You will also receive a payslip for working for us, and tax is taken out if required, and super paid quarterly to your desired fund.  Along with workers compensation all paid.  Reimbursement for products are also processed each Thursday so please keep receipts & send them through on time.

It is a casual position, however we are open to part-time contracts and welcome those who can commit to a more permanent schedule.

Most of our team are casuals, due to loving the flexibility of this, but with the ‘regular days’ they provide us to enable us to provide our clients with the consistency they desire but with the flexibility on both sides.

You will work where our work takes you. We are Central Coast NSW based but we do work from Mount White up to Lake Munmorah.

But the majority of our work is based around Gosford, Lisarow, Narara, Point Clare, Woy Woy, Avoca, Bensville, Saratoga, Kincumber, Terrigal, Wamberal, Avoca Beach, Forresters Beach, Long Jetty, Berkley Vale, and surrounds.

Most of our work is weekly or fortnightly, so you get to know what your clients like and really take care of them!

YES you do get a choice if you want to work a job or not. This is part of your Fair Work protection. So any new work we ask you first before booking it in! 😊.

We work usually 9-930am-to 2-2.30pm through to 4pm (it really depends on if you have kids, and where your childrens’ school is to what time you finish and if you have after school care arranged).

We do however have other jobs that are before and after hours, so let us know if you are interested in other time slots as well (these before and after hours work do command a higher pay rate). More often commercial premises. 

So if you are someone who would like to do 2-3 long days instead of 5 days (and can manage that) we will do our best to organise this for you.

We choose not to work weekends, so the majority of our work is week day only, because WE don’t want you phoning us on weekends ‘can’t find key, you break something, or you are ill’. We also respect weekends are for family and relaxation (the break ensures you are ready for a labour intensive week ahead).  I know our team LOVE this, as do we. 

If you request more time between shifts (as maybe you don’t need to worry about fitting more paid hours into a shorter timeframe as you don’t have kids to pick up at 2:30pm etc) absolutely you are welcome to ask for a 1-2 hour break between shifts/jobs.

Some of our DHT family who have injuries found this helpful to give their body time to rest, others because they wanted to still enjoy lunch with a friend, did this on certain days to enable them to still enjoy lunch. Others chose to do this because they didn’t want the pressure of meeting a timeframe from one job to another.

We are happy to accommodate, so long as our clients’ schedules aren’t adversely affected by doing this and are obviously looked after to standard or better. So let us know!

But usually we just eat a banana or a muesli bar with our bottle of water between jobs. Jobs are usually 2-4 hour shifts.

NOTE: You can drink water while on site, and food too if you need to.

Often I will sneak a bite of my sandwich or banana as I come back to my kit when I am hungry. Do what you need to keep yourself powered to look after our clients’ homes (you won’t have time to eat a kebab or sit down for a hot meal though, but you get what we mean).

Full day jobs where we work on insurance cleans or large spring cleans, you will get a proper lunch break, often DHT will provide lunch as a treat where we do this! And any job with 4 hours straight will receive a paid 10-minute break within it.

If you are the right person for the role , you can still work for DontHaveTime, but ideally we prefer those who can be available min 3 days, even if you are only working regularly 2 days, with 1 day available for last minute work, or helping us out where other staff are sick or away on holidays. We are flexible for the RIGHT employees!

Yes, advance notice always appreciated, and where multiple people ‘especially school holidays concerned’ you may be asked to change the week you take leave to accommodate others who have taken that week off, so we can cover our work, (as we run business flexibly for all), we appreciate all our team & our clients over these times.

YES … regardless of what leave you take during the year, we shut down as an entire business from Christmas Eve at 1pm through to the first week back in January.

This enables Jenny and Shanae to take a break from phones and emails as well as giving everybody a Christmas.

Needless to say we don’t do many holiday homes because of this.

Yes of course, we have mental health policies in place, and for injuries honesty (letting us know) is key so we don’t make things worse, however some mental health and or physical injuries would possibly exclude you from this job, so please talk to Jenny up front before you start the route of applying to be sure.

No, it’s whether YOU feel you can safely, consistently do this job and how many hours you can do it without hurting yourself while still maintaining the high level of standard DHT keeps.  You know yourself better than anyone. 

Yes, we suggest using your days off to organise appointments but if given notice we can help by moving jobs around to allow you to see your daughter’s assembly item or athletics carnival, AND or attend specialist appointments. The rule is ‘give and take’. So it must go both ways.  As sometimes we have multiple parents wanting the same day, so we will always do our best to accommodate where possible. 

No, we have had many males who work for us, single dads, dads looking for more time with their kids, men who enjoy housekeeping, even ex army guys who you can imagine, fold beautifully. So if you feel you have the skills and want this type of work, definitely apply!  Also if you are good up ladders or handy in any way, extra awesome, we have more work for you if you are!

We understand some of our staff do smoke. We just ask that you don’t smoke in your DHT shirt as it will leave a strong smoke scent within the fabric and your clients will notice you have been in their house, as those who aren’t smokers can smell it even if you aren’t there anymore. This smell sadly will detract from the clean you have just completed for that client. And although no breaks are specifically given for smoking needs, if you are working on a job longer than 3 hours and need a quick smoke, please ask permission from the client if they are there to do so, and ask where you may throw your butt out, as many people don’t like them even in their bins due to the smell they leave. So we would suggest keeping something in your car to take them home with you.
