Bed and Breakfast
There are thousands of Bed and Breakfast properties right across Australia,
NZ and elsewhere throughout the world and most of these businesses are small to medium enterprises, owned and operated by couples, with many of them situated in very desirable locations.
As with most small business, many of the operators have difficulty in finding the “right type” of relief managers to look after their businesses in order to take a break, resulting in people not taking breaks, or shutting down their business to enable them to do so. Neither option is ideal, not for the owners nor the business. Find out more.
IT Help Desk support
If you have an understanding of the internet you can work from home offering Help Desk technical support to hotel guests having difficulty connecting through our system. Training will be given but a good basic understanding of internet connectivity is required. We support guests throughout Australian hotels. It doesn’t matter where you are located as calls are diverted to you.
You would be ‘on-call’ to answer guest support calls directed to your home number, from 9am to 7pm on Wednesday and Saturday each week , for which you would be paid a retainer. In addition you would be on call to act as call overflow back up from 6 pm to 10pm, 2 evenings a week. Payment for overflow back up is generally on a per call basis.
Help Desk call levels generally allow you your own time when on call, but availability to take the calls as they come in and to troubleshoot from your own PC is vital.
